What is Calverton Business Incubator?

Calverton Business Incubator is an initiative owned and operated by Stony Brook University, designed to support and nurture the growth of new businesses in the agriculture, aquaculture, and environmental technology sectors. Located on the East End of Long Island, the incubator spans over 15,680 square feet and is tailored to reflect the regional strengths in these industries.

Their facilities are well-equipped to bolster entrepreneurial efforts, comprising office spaces, conference rooms, and state-of-the-art laboratories that provide both fresh and saltwater access.

This infrastructure is particularly beneficial for startups engaged in the development of innovative technologies that necessitate such water sources. In addition to physical space, the incubator also hosts the satellite office of the Small Business Development Center at Stony Brook, an entity that further contributes to the comprehensive support ecosystem afforded to resident companies. Calverton Business Incubator facilitates an environment of growth and innovation where entrepreneurs can leverage resources and strategies over a typical residency of 3-5 years.

The aim is to assist these companies in the research and development phase, enabling the cultivation of products and services primed for the marketplace.

By closely aligning with the university's resources and academic expertise, the incubator serves as a conduit for translating cutting-edge research into viable commercial ventures, thereby fostering the economic development of the region and setting a precedent for the success of future enterprises in the sector.
