Elected Officials, Business Leaders Celebrate Opening of Marietta Incubator

March 7, 2017 by IgniteHQ Leave a Comment

Startup incubator and business accelerator IgniteHQ officially opened its new headquarters on February 28th with a community wide celebration and ribbon cutting.

State, city, county and academic officials were on hand to celebrate the occasion.

“We’re delighted about the partnership between Cobb County and IgniteHQ,” said Cobb County Commission Chairman Mike Boyce. “We’re looking forward to many great successes,” he said.

Kennesaw State University President Sam Olens also expressed excitement for the opening of the new facility.

IgniteHQ will serve as the premier incubator for KSU students and faculty.

“Recently, KSU was awarded its first scientific patent, and last May we announced the first company to come out of Kennesaw State’s business incubator program,” said KSU President Sam Olens. “KSU students have the opportunity to transform their research and ideas into real companies through KSU’s partnership with IgniteHQ,” he said.

In partnership with Kennesaw State University (KSU) and in collaboration with the Cobb Chamber of Commerce, IgniteHQ is an outgrowth of the Chamber’s Competitive EDGE program. IgniteHQ supports Georgia’s entrepreneurial community by enabling the long-term success and growth of both new and early stage companies.

A combination of business accelerator and startup incubator, IgniteHQ provides entrepreneurs space to conduct their business and access to unique educational programming, mentoring, advisory services, and collaboration opportunities.
