The Industrial Council of Nearwest Chicago (ICNC) helps makers find their momentum. Through our business incubator The Hatchery, we provide Chicago's food and beverage entrepreneurs with affordable commercial kitchen space, no- or low-cost business services, and access to essential resources to launch and scale successful businesses.

The Hatchery has helped hundreds of food entrepreneurs create jobs and economic opportunity in Chicago's neighborhoods. We're more than a commercial kitchen—we're a supportive community and thriving entrepreneurial ecosystem that empowers small business owners to build lasting businesses and generational wealth.

This Giving Tuesday, your support helps us continue closing knowledge gaps and providing comprehensive support that makes small business success possible in Chicago's diverse food community.
