Global Incubator Best Practice Best in the World! Port Adelaide’s Todd Street Business Chambers has been recognized on the world stage winning two award categories at the 2009 International Incubator Conference in Kansas City, USA. Todd Street Business Chambers won the 2009 International Incubator of the Year Award (non technology category), while one of the Chamber’s graduates, Alfresco Pergolas and Design, was awarded the 2009 Outstanding Incubator Graduate of the Year Award. American-based National Business Incubation Association (NBIA) chose Todd Street Business Chambers over standout entries from incubation programs around the world. A panel of more than 20 NBIA judges awarded the highest international business incubation award to the South Australian incubator based on its contribution to economic wealth and creation of employment in its region, its own financially sustainable model of operation and the innovative programs on offer to its clients. General Manager, Lyn Hay, said the international recognition for its services was the biggest coup possible for the Port Adelaide based incubator. “Todd Street Business Chambers assists businesses on the cusp of growth by providing flexible work space, on site mentoring and tailored business support. To be recognised for the quality of our services on a global scale is just fantastic,” Ms Hay said.
