What We Look For.

The Selection criteria for the nailab is designed to fit around technology and society which is our tagline, this selection criteria will change in due course as we grow and accommodate input from you.

The Nailab tag is the nailab Rule…

The first criterion for every organization, person or event is, whether it fits the NaiLab

tagline: NaiLab: where technology meets society.”

Does the organization, person or event operate on the interface between technology and society (including the economy)? Even better, does it build a bridge between technology and society? Each inhabitant should be able to explain how they can bridge the gap, hopefully we can help potential incubatees sharpen their plans around this concept as well.

This is what sets the NaiLab apart from other incubators within the environs. It will also strongly determine the success of NaiLab.
