University of Central Florida Daytona Beach Business Incubator Honors International Speedway Gift with Conference Room Naming
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – When clients of the University of Central Florida Business Incubator at the Daytona Beach International Airport use one of their conference rooms, there’s no question they’re in the city famous for NASCAR racing.
Decorated with more than 30 framed NASCAR logos, racing posters and autographed photos of race car drivers and celebrities who have performed at the world-famous tri-oval, the conference room is a tribute to the International Speedway Corporation (“ISC”), which recently donated office furniture to the new business incubator.
Dubbed the “ISC Room,” the conference room is used often by the incubator clients who rent office space at the UCF Business Incubator at Daytona Beach International Airport.
“We are proud of our association with the UCF Business Incubation Program,” said Lesa France Kennedy, chief executive officer of ISC. “Business incubation provides the necessary resources and services to shepherd local entrepreneurs through the beginning stages of business development. We are privileged to support these efforts through our donation which will help launch new businesses that create jobs for our community.”
Doris “Connie” Bernal√, site manager at the Daytona Beach location, said “we are very grateful and pleased to know that our incubator has a little piece of International Speedway Corporation, which is a great example of what a Volusia company can accomplish. Volusia entrepreneurs will be inspired and motivated when they see this room and reflect on the fact that one of the world’s most successful companies started right here in Volusia County.”
The incubator is a partnership between UCF, Volusia County and the Florida High Tech Corridor Council. Like its counterparts in Orlando, Sanford, Leesburg, Kissimmee, St. Cloud, Research Park in East Orlando and Winter Springs, the Daytona Beach incubator is designed to help start-up companies as well as established businesses that may need assistance getting to the next level of their operations.
About the UCF Business Incubation Program:
Since its founding in 1999, the UCF Business Incubation Program has helped more than 200 emerging companies (including more than 125 current clients) create over $200 million in annual total economic output and more than 1,600 new jobs with an average salary of $59,000. With nine facilities across the Greater Orlando community, the Business Incubation Program is a collaboration in economic development between the University of Central Florida, Orange County, the City of Orlando, Seminole County, the City of Winter Springs, The City of Sanford, Lake County, the City of Leesburg, Osceola County, the City of Kissimmee, City of St. Cloud, Volusia County and the Florida High Tech Corridor Council.
