Inland SoCal Accelerate Hub

Resources For Companies

 

Connect with the Inland SoCal Innovation Ecosystem

Whether you're developing a new technology, validating your market, preparing for funding, or growing your business, the Inland SoCal Accelerate Hub can help connect you with resources across the region.

Led by the University of California, Riverside, the Inland SoCal Accelerate Hub brings together entrepreneurship and economic development organizations throughout Riverside, San Bernardino, and Imperial counties to help companies navigate the resources available to them.

How the Inland SoCal Accelerate Hub Works

The Inland SoCal Accelerate Hub is a regional network of organizations working together to support innovation, entrepreneurship, and economic development.

Rather than requiring companies to navigate dozens of organizations and programs on their own, the Hub serves as a regional connector, helping entrepreneurs identify resources that align with their company's stage, industry, location, and goals.

You don't need to know which organization or program is right for you before reaching out. Tell us about your company and what you're looking to accomplish, and we'll help connect you with a partner organization within the Hub that can best support your needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

 

  • The Inland SoCal Accelerate Hub is a regional network rather than a membership program for individual companies. You do not need to apply to "join" the Hub.

    Instead, companies can contact us to share information about their business and goals. We'll help identify resources or partner organizations within the Hub that may be able to support you.

  • The Hub primarily serves Riverside, San Bernardino, and Imperial counties. Geographic eligibility varies by program and resource.

    Companies outside the region that are considering establishing operations, partnerships, or meaningful business activity in Inland Southern California may also contact us to explore relevant opportunities.

  • The Inland SoCal Accelerate Hub is not currently accepting applications for Innovation Grants.

    Innovation Grants are not open application grants. Companies must meet applicable eligibility requirements and complete a qualifying cultivation process before they may be considered for funding. Our current allocation of Innovation Grant funding has been committed.

  • Not automatically. Participating in a program, receiving assistance from a Hub partner, or contacting the Hub does not guarantee Innovation Grant eligibility or funding.

    Companies must meet applicable eligibility and cultivation requirements, and Innovation Grant funding is limited and subject to availability.

  • We'll learn more about your company, your goals, and the type of support you're looking for. Based on your needs, we'll help identify and connect you with a partner organization within the Inland SoCal Accelerate Hub that is best positioned to support you.
