Through the Camden Business Incubator, RCTC encourages entrepreneurs to locate their businesses in Camden and assists them with low-cost office and conference space, technical support services and mentoring for successful startup. The incubator provides the safety net needed during a new company's most critical and vulnerable period.
Located in 20,000 square foot of Camden’s new Waterfront Technology Campus, the incubator is supported through a partnership of Rutgers University, the Delaware River Port Authority, NJ Commission on Science and Technology, the NJ Economic Development Authority and the US Department of Commerce. By helping high-tech firms and other professional service providers to grow and put down roots in Camden, the incubator brings new jobs to the city and contributes to its economic redevelopment and revitalization.
