CFEDC Presents: Considerations for a Local Business Incubator - Sept 27, '11 - Part 1/7

Mark King, intellectual property / small business attorney and CFEDC board member, leads a panel discussion covering:

What is an 'incubator', and what is not?
Are there any ventures presently in our area that would be properly termed 'incubators'?
Is there a need for a local business incubator, or are existing ventures sufficient?
If establishment of an incubator were to become a priority in local economic development policy, (i) should it be brick & mortar or virtual and (ii) should it be general or industry specific?

Panelists include:

Jonathan Rowe, Director of the UNCW Entrepreneurship Center / Member Cape Fear Future Leadership Team
Rich Novak, Executive Fund Director of IMAF Cape Fear Angel Fund and Managing Partner of Cornerstone Advisory Partners, Inc.
Doug Tarble, Director of the Cape Fear Community College Small Business Center
John Hinnant, Executive Director of Wilmington Downtown, Inc.
