The UNC Board of Trustees heard a proposal for an incubation space at their finance committee meeting last Wednesday. The area, which will partner with a third-party life-sciences operating company, will provide development and acceleration to life science startup companies created by university staff, according to the presentation. The presenting group suggested the sixth floor of the Carolina Square development as their targeted location.
UNC Vice Chancellor for Innovation, Entrepreneurship and Economic Development Judith Cone proposed the idea to the board and explained why she believes the university needs a place like this.
