Talk on business incubation
The chairman of the USA’s National Business Incubation
Association, Larry Albertson, will be speaking at the Radisson
SAS next Wednesday. This event is being organised by the Kordin
Business Incubation Centre and IPSE.
Mr Albertson runs a US consultancy that specialises in all aspects
of business incubation: feasibility studies, programme assessments,
evaluations and benchmarking, and the preparation of business
plans leading to self-
sufficiency for new businesses. He is actively involved in international
initiatives on business incubation. Mr Albertson has long experience
in assisting new companies to set up and establish their operations,
advising on opportunities for financing. He has been directly
responsible for developing effective programmes for regional
development, which included business incubators.
The Kordin Business Incubation Centre is set to open in July,
with space for 55 new ventures. The entrepreneurs who are selected
for inclusion in the programme will receive assistance in training,
business plans, financing opportunities, marketing, management
and the general principles of business. They will be able to
use the KBIC premises for up to three years, until they are
on a firm enough footing. The KBIC management is now taking
applications from interested parties, and says that it is looking
for “new and interesting ideas with realistic potential
for development into a sound
business”.
Attendance is free of charge and reservations can be made on
tel. 220270 or fax 220262.
