A panel of experienced business incubator managers has selected the most recent recipients of the NBIA Soft Landings International Incubator designation from November 2009.

And… the VentureLab Twente Incubator hereby has been granted this Soft Landings designation for the first time!

Now in its fifth year, the Soft Landings program recognizes incubators with proven ability to help nondomestic companies enter the incubator’s domestic market.
NBIA’s Soft Landings designations are effective for two years; programs must reapply biennially for continuing designation.

While there was no set number of selections possible, the panel did not award the designation to all that applied. The selection of the two new designees brings the total number of programs earning the Soft Landings designation to 16.

The NBIA is the world’s leading organization advancing business incubation and entrepreneurship. The next deadline for Soft Landings applications will be June 11, 2010.
