UCF Business Incubator to Launch Free “Co-Working Space” Program at Daytona Beach International Airport in July

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – The University of Central Florida Business Incubation Program will observe Volusia County Entrepreneur Month by introducing a new “co-working space” program and research library at its Daytona Beach International Airport location. The incubator – a partnership between UCF, Volusia County and the Florida High Tech Corridor Council – is designed to help start-up companies as well as established businesses. The new platform, according to the program’s Daytona Beach Site Manager Connie Bernal√, provides an environment where like-minded professionals can share office and research space to help grow their businesses. “After researching some home-based businesses, we discovered a need for temporary office space so that entrepreneurs can present themselves in a professional environment, attract more clients and have access to relevant research information,” she said. In addition to the two offices that are being used for co-working space, Bernal said the incubator also will designate another office for use as a resource library complete with a controlled catalog of books, free internet access and Wi-Fi, as well as access to online libraries and databases. “We are here to help not only incubator clients, but also the Volusia County business community at large,” she said. “In many cases, having such a space available could be a critical service for growth.”
