Mixed-use Business Incubator Handbook: A Start-up Guide for Incubator Developers

Mixed-use Incubator Handbook: A Start-up Guide for Incubator Developers – August, 2009 by Mark Davies, BusyInternet

  • “In general, an incubator is a physical location that provides a defined set of services to individuals or small companies. This may include specific types of office space, flexible lease terms, access to technology, financing, and technical assistance (such as marketing, legal, finance, HR, and other business development services). By locating similar or complementary entities in proximity to each other, the incubator may also play a critical role in promoting knowledge transfer, both formally and informally. Recently in developing countries, and under the guidance and promotion of infoDev, incubation has become an interesting approach to accelerate the development of technologies, industries and business skills. However, it should be noted that the needs of these communities can often be radically different to a more mature corporate environment where education, business training, and public institutional support may be a completely different context to Europe and the United States.”
