Business Incubation Initiative Georgia team started research from 2002, with the aim to develop model of incubator for Georgia. Main principles of the new concept were defined as following:

• Sustainability by mission;

BII Georgia team members have conducted research in the world's leading business incubators and technology parks: Silicon Valley International Business Incubator (San Jose, California), business incubators of CISCO and NASA (Palo Alto, California), GIU – Saarland's Society for Innovation and Enterprise support (Germany), UTZ – St Wendel Entrepreneurship and Technology Center (Germany).
