Understanding Agritech Incubator and Accelerator Best Practices
Supported by the Abbotsford Tech District, a proposed research and commercialization innovation hub to be established in the Fraser Valley, this project will provide two outcomes. One, to prepare a report on the best practices and recommendations for building an agritech incubator/accelerator hub in British Columbia. Two, prepare academic journal articles detailing the successes and challenges associated with incubators/accelerators, and the potential societal impacts of widespread development of programs that specifically focus on spurring growth in agricultural technology and innovation.
