The UCF Business Incubation Program is a family of business
incubation facilities in Metro Orlando to provide tools, training,
infrastructure and more to start-up companies in the community.
In partnership with a wide array of organizations, UCF has established
facilities in five locations to serve various sectors of the
community.
Business incubation is a critical element of Metro Orlando’s economic development strategy. Studies show that 95% of companies stay in the community where they are established. Incubator support greatly reduces the risk of failure and 87-91% of companies that graduate from an incubator program are still in business 5 years later.
