Exit Survey
 
 
Greetings. We are investigating the need for a new incubation management system that will assist incubator managers and staff to share resources, facilitate tenant management, improve incubation management skills, improve tracking of incubatee performance, and generate more useful reports.

We are interested in your views on what the current, real needs and challenges of incubator managers are, and how they could be supported by a modern, professional and easy to use incubation management system.

The information gathered is being used purely for development purposes, to support a development grant application to the Technology Innovation Agency. You are welcome to contact the Project Leader, Lynn Maggott, on 021-4183816 for any further information.

Thank you very much for your time and support. Please start with the survey now by clicking on the Continue button below.
