NCID Partners

NCID is grateful to be supported by the partnering organizations who share our vision for the Region.

Granite School, NCID's headquarters, is the center of our growing ecosystem.

Built in 1870 as a school-- innovative for its time-- we are still using it to teach and host entrepreneurs. With over 10,000 square feet dedicated to helping launch startups and scale ups, we host companies from across the region and round the globe, some physically present and some co-locating as a base to support existing operations."
