SURGE

The Next Center

The Next Center 

The Next Center opened November 2024.

The business support hub houses Lakeshore Advantage’s SURGE program, the go-to resource for the region’s entrepreneurial community and Lakeshore Advantage’s headquarters.

 

The first floor business incubator serves as home base to up to 50 startups at any given time. Its open-concept, collaborative spaces foster collaboration and camaraderie. Conference rooms and a quiet area are great for heads-down, focused work experiences.

 

The first floor also features a 50-person learning lab for workshops and seminars to be utilized by startups and the broader community.

 

The second floor, headquarters to Lakeshore Advantage, is also home to second-stage companies and partner organizations that can assist incubator members in hitting milestones to continue their growth.

 

The third floor will house an established business which complements the startup ecosystem.
