IASP members recognised in TIME's 2026 US Incubators & Accelerators Ranking

IASP members Tech Parks Arizona in Tucson and Ann Arbor SPARK in Ann Arbor have been recognised

among the top 100 organisation in TIME's Best Incubators & Accelerators in the United States for 2026.

Through its connection with the University of Arizona, industry and the wider community, Tech Parks Arizona supports technology innovation, entrepreneurship and commercialisation through its dedicated University of Arizona Center for Innovation (UACI) providing entrepreneurs with resources and support to help develop their ventures and move innovations towards the market.

Ann Arbor SPARK is an area of innovation that brings together public and private partners, including the University of Michigan, to strengthen the region's entrepreneurial ecosystem, support company growth and contribute to job creation. Its work focuses on advancing economic and employment opportunities across the region, supporting business development and entrepreneurship, providing  services that help technology startups access capital, talent, customers and other strategic resources. 

The recognition provides a snapshot of the contribution of IASP members to the development of entrepreneurial and innovation ecosystems across the United States, and also reflects the broader role that university incubators, accelerators, and other organised innovation spaces play within ecosystems to create connections that support the development and commercialisation of new ideas. 

The IASP community congratulates Tech Parks Arizona and Ann Arbor SPARK on this recognition and on their continued contribution to supporting innovation and entrepreneurship.
