Business Incubator of the Year Awards
In 2010, CABI will be honouring the achievements of Canadian business incubators by presenting two ‘Business Incubator of the Year’ Awards at its 19th Annual Conference to be held in October in Toronto.
Awards will be given in two categories - Technology Incubation and Multi-Purpose Incubation. Technology Incubation includes those organizations that focus on clients with technology related businesses including general technology incubators, internet, software design, information technology, biotechnology and environmental technology among the various types.

To be eligible for nomination, business incubators must meet all of the following criteria:
