Conceptual Design for Technology Incubator

Conceptual design for technology incubator, along with business plan, for roll-out in strategic partnership with universities in key Sub-Saharan metro markets.   As office and industrial consultants, StoneCreek Partners provided the facility conceptual design and associated business plan for a right-scaled roll-out of technology business incubator facilities in urban Accra (Ghana) and Lagos (Nigeria), among other key Sub-Saharan regions.

The conceptual design provides for alternative gathering places within the incubator facility, each intended for differing and flexible meetings, whether investor pitches, online digital conferences, tech demonstrations, Agile sprint sessions, and the like.   One meeting room was design with lateral ideation sessions in mind, with an array of pin surfaces, writing surfaces, digital displays, and ideation recordation means.
