Dear Member and Reader,
Specialization of incubators and accelerators finds more and more topics. In this edition of SPICE Update, for example, we inform about “Sweet incubation” and incubator focused on cannabis. We also inform about development of business incubation association conferences, for example with reports by John Mercer about the recent National Business Incubation conference in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia and by Barbara Harley about the InBIA conference in Orland, Florida. Also, we continue reporting on developments of entrepreneurship ecosystems: Berlin and Hamburg as well as – first time –, Düsseldorf. If you are interested to see your ecosystem in this series, just let us know.
