On 2 April we launched the Good Incubation report with a full day event that brought together leaders from the field of early stage social venture support, including impact accelerators, co-working spaces and impact investor networks.

The Good Incubation report tracks the growth and analyses the trends of social venture incubation worldwide. The event, sponsored by the Cabinet Office, attracted a panel of speakers from around the world, to share their knowledge on incubation best practices and future trends.

Tunji Eleso from CcHub on setting up an incubation space in Lagos, Nigeria
