See CenterState CEO’s Expanded Business Incubator: INSPYRE Innovation Hub

April 23, 2025

CenterState CEO revealed the name of its expanded business incubator in downtown Syracuse at its 2025 Annual Meeting. CenterState CEO President Rob Simpson shared the facility will be called INSPYRE Innovation Hub. INSPYRE will be where founders go to dream, build and scale.

Formerly The Tech Garden, INSPYRE celebrates Syracuse’s legacy of innovation and is a beacon to its bold future. It’s where the innovation ecosystem convenes, and possibilities are redefined. No longer primarily focused on seeding tech-based startups, INSPYRE Innovation Hub will be a space where founders of all industries, sizes and stages of growth can find support. INSPYRE invites everyone to push boundaries and shape what’s next.
