Technology start-up companies have a new resource with the opening of Incubate Miami on Wednesday in downtown Miami. The ribbon-cutting ceremony at 3 p.m. honors the 12,000-square-foot facility that has opened itself to tech start-ups, giving them temporary office space and on-site help with launching their business.
Five companies have already moved in to the Incubate Miami office at 200 Southeast First St., Suite 601. It is a partnership of the private firm Digiport and the Enterprise Development Corp. of South Florida, which supports emerging science and technology companies in Miami. Its purpose is to grow a tech-based industry in downtown Miami, attracting investors and adding new jobs. The idea was conceived by Marc Billings, CEO of Digiport, a technology services facility.
Miami Mayor Tomas P. Regalado will be at the ceremony, as well as Jane Teague, executive director of the Enterprise Development Corp, and Alyce M. Robertson, executive director of Miami Downtown Development Authority.
Companies that are already in Incubate Miami include ACC Hall and Associates, Cloud-o-matic, Helper Village, Hermosa Marketing and KRAA Security.
