This gives a general summary of what manufacturing incubators are
''Concept of Incubators''
Business concept that was first developed in the 1950s.
Usually, incubators offer a stable place to develop business concepts (office space, ability to network) along with infrastructure to turn these concepts into reality
Typically associated with technology firms.
