infoDev provides support to business incubator projects in several African countries, with sub-regions in South, East and West Africa, and works in close partnership with the growing African Incubator Network to which it also provides financial support. Business incubators are not yet widespread in Africa, but with a growing population of innovators and entrepreneurs, business incubation is seen as an important facilitator of small enterprise development.

  The Namibia Business Innovation Centre (NBIC) and the International Association of Science Parks (IASP) are organizing the first IASP African Division Workshop in Windhoek, Namibia, on 12th-13th March and will focus on “Operating Science Parks and Business Incubators in Africa: next steps”.
  
  It follows on from a survey recently conducted by IASP on Science and Technology Parks in the region, the results of which will be presented during the workshop itself. This will constitute the basis for reasoning about strategies for running and implementing STPs and how to attract tenants, among other topics within the African context. We will discuss planning, implementation, operations, tenants services, entrepreneurship programmes and incubation and keep it very interactive to get the participants involved.
  
  For further information, please see the attached programme. In order to register, visit http://nbic.polytechnic.edu.na/iasp-africa-workshop/.

  Is this site still active? I was thinking about creating a similar structured site but with more incubator events.
