Varela Consulting partnered with the National Business Incubation Association (NBIA), with funding from the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), undertook a diagnostic study of business incubation programs in northern Mexico. The objective of this study was to determine the feasibility of bolstering four to six business incubation programs that have the most potential to incubate viable clean energy technology businesses, with tailored follow-on support.
The study revealed there is, indeed, scope to make investments that improve chances for clean-tech commercialization in Northern Mexico Border States; however, that support should be allocated to a subset of highly ranked incubation programs within the region that exhibit the greatest overall readiness for future support.
