  • These incubatees will be monitored for the actions they are taking in order to facilitate their growth.
  • The incubatees will be screened and those who exhibit most growth potential will be accelerated with all possible supports.
  • Develop a program to allow self-selection of incubatees with those showing most potential progression to higher levels of intervention

A 'Screening Committee' is constituted to examine the incubatees' proposal and recommend for the selection. The selection is based on a review of technical documentation and a business plan defining the proponent's business venture. If necessary, a detailed technical and commercial assessment of the proposal is made before the tenant is admitted to the incubator. A quarterly milestone and monthly status report will have to be submitted by the incubatee so as to track their progress.
