BIA NYS was established in 2005 as a nonprofit trade association. A nine-member board of directors, chosen by the general membership, governs the organization. This technical membership group puts together a network of active initiative leaders from incubators, accelerators, and co-working spaces from across New York State.

BIANYS is working on a cross legislative reform program has built strong working relationships with the State's seed-stage venture firms and the angel investor group, and plans to find ways to emphasize the value of professionally run startup incubation as a way to de-risk private investment in New York State's next generation of growth companies.

Our partnership aims to invite select European companies into a uniquely designed 10-week Soft Landing program allowing for accelerated customer discovery and business development in an attractive entry point to the US market. We are proud to be exclusive partners for the V4 participants of this very first cohort. 

Later this year, Pipette & Chart will co-design and co-host a Soft Landing program for US entities exploring Prague as a strategic gateway into the European region.
