Montgomery County Business Innovation Network operates five business incubators (Germantown Innovation Center, Rockville Innovation Center, Shady Grove Innovation Center, Silver Spring Innovation Center, Wheaton Business Innovation Center) throughout the county which offer more than 150,000 square feet of office space, 129 offices, laboratories, clean rooms and conference and meeting rooms. Part of the Montgomery County Department of Economic Development, the Innovation network offers build-to-suit facilities which offer low-cost rental space and a network of technical and business support services. The incubators are fully-secured facilities with offices and wet labs, including work and lab benches, sinks and fume hood, and office space equipped with telephones and wired for broadband Internet connection. The project was initiated in 1999 and managed by Montgomery County Department of Economic Development. It was developed, financed and constructed as a joint partnership between the County and the State of Maryland.
