A 1315 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Provides assistance to business accelerators and incubators and startup businesses located within those business accelerators and incubators.

This bill establishes two programs to support startup businesses in New Jersey. It creates a "Startup Businesses in Business Incubators Development Program" that provides financial assistance to business accelerators and incubators that support startups in specific technology fields like clean energy, life sciences, and advanced materials. The New Jersey Economic Development Authority will match 20% of funding provided by research institutions, up to $200,000 per accelerator or incubator, to help these businesses with operating expenses. The bill also provides tax credits (15% of operating expenses for seven years) for qualifying startups participating in these programs, with annual reporting requirements for the authority.
