They also aim towards attracting portfolio company participation in action network incubators - attending industry conferences, workshops, and educational forums. Organization of such workshops and educational forums for its incubator members is funded by grants, membership, and sponsorship support.”

“Attracting international startups into the action network of incubators: action's 2018 eda i6 grant award from the u.s. Department of commerce enables action to build programs to attract and land international scale-up technology companies (e.g. Life science, cleantech, robotics, advanced materials, and marine/maritime) into the action network of business incubators as a first u.s. Office. This created a pipeline of international company introductions to the incubator members of soft landing programs. Further, the grand provides funding to create and support a technology ecosystem asset map, a filterable/sortable mapping system to allow identification of regional technology assets that are relevant to both domestic and international companies. Workshops and stakeholders mixers are arranged for incubator managers to inform and instruct on best practices in supporting international companies in incubation, as well as building community within the network.”
