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 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.
