For the third time, the International Business Innovation Association (InBIA) has awarded its highest honor – the Randall M. Whaley Incubator of the Year award – to UF Innovate | Sid Martin Biotech.

“Being named the best incubator on the planet is amazing. Receiving this award three times in a decade speaks volumes to the tremendous resource we have here in Florida with the Sid Martin Biotech incubator,” said David Norton, UF’s vice president for research. “The University of Florida is an international leader in translating research into relevant impact. The award reaffirms this.”

At a ceremony during InBIA’s annual conference, taking place this week online due to the coronavirus pandemic, Sid Martin Biotech Director Mark Long accepted two awards on behalf of the 40,000-square-foot business incubator located in Alachua.
