The Greenhouse is a business incubator, working with early-stage companies of today to become the leaders of tomorrow. Opened in 2010, the Greenhouse is the result of a partnership between the City of Boise and the Idaho Small Business Development Center (SBDC). Located in the heart of downtown Boise, it offers entrepreneurs comprehensive services to build a strong foundation to take their company on to even greater success. While all early-stage companies are eligible for the Greenhouse, preference will be given to companies that are focused on alternative or renewable energy - including solar, wind, geothermal, conservation or another energy source.
