A New Home for Innovation—and a Community Ready to Support It

October 31, 2024

The next era of entrepreneurship in Central New York is taking shape—literally.

CenterState CEO’s Tech Garden expansion is well underway, transforming the longtime incubator into a state-of-the-art, inclusive hub for founders of every background and industry. With two new floors and expanded programming, this future-forward space is designed to give entrepreneurs access to everything they need to grow—mentorship, collaboration, tools, and a powerful community that believes in their potential.

And the business community is stepping up.

Companies like Northland Communications, Tony Baird Electronics, Amazon, The Bonadio Group, Brackens Financial, and Community Bank are among the first sponsors, backing the vision with more than just capital—they’re contributing to a future where local founders can thrive.

“It’s an exciting step forward,” said Community Bank President Dimitar Karaivanov. “This building is about investing in the people and ideas that will shape the future of our region.”

Partnerships are more than name recognition. Sponsors can directly engage with programs, connect with rising startups, and play a key role in building the region’s innovation ecosystem.
