Some key parts of Kennesaw State University’s mission are to advance knowledge, foster innovation, and serve the community. Through the HatchBridge Incubator, those facets are coming to life.

In just two years, the incubator has become a launchpad for companies that are attracting millions of dollars in investment, translating faculty research into real-world solutions, and giving KSU alumni and the surrounding community a place to turn bold ideas into thriving businesses.

HatchBridge is building an ecosystem that connects the University with the region around it. Located on Chastain Road just across from the Kennesaw Campus, the incubator welcomes alumni, faculty researchers, and community entrepreneurs who are ready to take their ideas to the marketplace.
