Incubator network bill introduced in state Senate
S7048 — a bill that would authorize a "New York Incubator Network" — has been introduced by Sen. William T. Stachowski (D-58th Senate District), who is chairman of the state Senate Committee on Commerce, Economic Development and Small Business. Bill text is available at the first link above.
The bill would authorize NYSTAR to recognize for five years up to 10 university-affiliated or other nonprofit technology incubators — one in each of the 10 economic-development regions of the state. Incubators that are members of this Network would be eligible for financial support, subject to appropriation, regular review, and requirements for reporting.
