The WNY Incubator Network, also known as the Western New York Incubator Network, is a collaborative effort of incubators and entrepreneurial service providers from Allegany, Cattaraugus, Chautauqua, Erie, and Niagara Counties in New York. Their goal is to transform the region into a thriving hub for startups and entrepreneurship by providing the necessary tools and resources. As a designated WNY Innovation Hot Spot, the network offers a range of programs and services to support incubator client companies.

These include access to incubation programs, mentoring, educational resources, financial assistance, and special deals and discounts. They also provide assistance with SBIR/STTR grants and offer tax incentives specifically designed for companies in their earliest stages. The network is managed by the University at Buffalo, who serves as the lead entity for WIN, a NYSTAR program.

Together, they collaborate with various incubators such as 43North, BNMC Innovation Center, Fredonia Technology Incubator, and many more across the region. With their comprehensive support and collaborative approach, the WNY Incubator Network is dedicated to helping startups thrive in Western New York
