Founded more than 15 years ago, the Gwinnett Innovation Park (formerly the Intelligent Systems Incubator), located in Gwinnett County in a suburb of Atlanta, Georgia, is the longest running, privately funded incubator program in the country. In a recent independent industry survey of domestic U.S. incubators, the Gwinnett Innovation Park was ranked as a Top Ten Technology Incubator. We have been honored with the "1999 Incubator Client of the Year" award by the National Business Incubation Association (NBIA). Our incubator director, Bonnie Herron, is past chair of the NBIA, a second term member of the board of directors and the first representative from a private incubator to be elected to NBIA’s board of directors.
