ISBA conducts a conference every year which is its flagship networking event that brings together incubators, experts, investors, government and other stakeholders of the Techno-entrepreneurship ecosystem.
The first conference was held in 2007. The conference has been held in several different cities with the basic objective being to promote incubation in and around these regions and also provide an opportunity for the local incubator members to showcase their incubators to the participants of the conference.
The conferences are invariably of an international nature attracting both incubators and experts from several countries. It presents an opportunity to showcase the achievements and capabilities of Indian technology business incubation to the outside world.
