::* That page contains a link to the company's homepage
'''Review'''
* This may be a good source to find incubators as this database contains a lot of information on economic development institutions
* Limitation: It would be challenging to collect this data via web crawler as the link on the database connects to another page within inbia and then the link on that page connects to the company's homepage, which sometimes does not have enough information.
* Limitation: Not all of the institutions listed are incubators. Out of the first 10 links there were:
:* 4 incubators
:* 2 educational programs
:* 1 broken link
:* 3 other economic development programs
