Business incubation programs facilitate the process of starting and growing companies by providing entrepreneurs with the expertise, networks and tools they need to make their ventures successful. NBIA estimates that in 2005 alone, North American incubators assisted more than 27,000 start-up companies that provided full-time employment for more than 100,000 workers and generated annual revenue of more than $17 billion. Approximately 5,000 business incubators operate worldwide.
"We are very excited about being an NBIA international conference sponsor for the first time," said Brett Johnson, president of OneMedPlace. “Our one-of-a-kind communications portal helps emerging companies such as incubators to connect with potential investors and strategic partners. We are currently serving 21,000 unique monthly visitors to onemedplace.com, including 66,000 monthly impressions, with 73% of visitors originating within the U.S. In addition, we have 17,000 email subscribers to whom we push-out content. In short, if an emerging company wants attention from the right audiences, then OMP can be a mission-critical ally. We look forward to interacting with the hundreds of such companies that will be attending the Kansas City conference.”
“Our conference sponsors such as OneMedPlace have recognized the key role that entrepreneurial companies play in American business and the nation’s competitiveness,”
