A Rather Unique Incubator

While I was in Conroe, TX at Entergy’s Team City Conference I toured the area. One of the facilities that caught my eye was a company called Conroe Trading. This Italian owned company is developing a business incubator focused upon Italian companies looking to develop business relationships in the U. S.

Already they have a dozen Italian companies that make things like ball valves, sealings, powder handling systems, grinding machines, water purification, etc. This effort, begun in 1997, hopes to foster more international trade.

While I’ve seen many incubators in my travels and research this is one of the most unique. Could this be a concept that other agurbs® could develop with other countries?
