Develop. Launch. Succeed.

First Flight Venture Center™ is North Carolina’s original science, technology, and business incubator. Located in the heart of the Research Triangle Park, we support the launch of bioscience, life science, medical device, and information technology companies by providing the tailored resources, guidance, and connections required for sustained commercial success.

Way more than office space.

First Flight isn’t a real estate company with long term leases. We’re a non-profit with a mission to help you develop your idea, create your prototype, secure grants, launch your business, and in doing so, we create jobs and grow the economy of North Carolina.

Our focus is on creating the support you need, not square foot pricing or occupancy rates. Our spaces are affordable and customizable—wet labs, offices, power drops, sinks—whatever you need. And our flexible leases evolve with you.
