Allocation: $85,000,000

Description: It supports the growth and success of new companies and businesses in the early stages of operation. This is done through various entities throughout the island that guide these small businesses through the incubation and acceleration process.

SMALL BUSINESS INCUBATORS AND ACCELERATORS PROGRAM

The Small Business Incubators and Accelerators Program (SBIA) works to strengthen the Island’s economy through the incubation and acceleration of small businesses, as well as to facilitate the resources to create and provide infrastructure to support both processes of business development.

Its main objective is to benefit citizens affected by Hurricanes Irma and Maria in the creation of new businesses, through an incubation process or to strengthen existing ones with an acceleration process. This is supported by various entities selected throughout the Island that submitted their projects.

Some of the services are: ​

  • Provide a collaborative work space with mentoring services​
  • Assistance in the incubation/acceleration process​
  • Professional networking​
  • Ideas exchanges​
  • Practical management training/workshops​
  • Consulting​
  • Technical assistance​
  • Provide physical space and business resources at non-prohibitive costs for small and new businesses.


*This varies according to each organization’s offering.​
