Innovation Hubs are an example of focused efforts by cities to support businesses located within their community and those seeking to do business there.

Incubators nurture businesses from the idea stage onwards and are more longterm than accelerators. They can provide workspace, resources, and guidance. These programs provide services for entrepreneurs and start-ups at reduced rates for supplies and workspace. While in a business incubator companies can learn from other individuals while creating and initiating plans for their businesses.
ACCELERATORS: A business accelerator provides early-stage companies with funding, access to expert advisers, peer mentorship and practical support, such as workspaces, marketing and technology. Accelerators work with startups that are ready to scale up. Membership is typically by application.
