Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: The term “business incubation” refers to the process through which established businesses or organizations help emerging businesses rise. Incubators for new businesses provide more than just a place to work. They also provide guidance, education, funding, and help with designing and promoting products. The fundamental goal of this guidance in education is to analyze the importance of business incubation in assisting SMEs in a worldwide economic setting. The provision of resources and services to incubatees is one kind of intervention that is explored in this study, along with others. This research also takes a close look at the many aspects that aid and hinder the incubation process. The processes of commercialization and expansion are also important, as are incentives for innovation and the creation of positive societal effects. Entrepreneurial growth, innovation, startup effectiveness, sustainability, spinoff company formation, and the launch of social enterprises are all possible outcomes of the incubation process. The study emphasizes the necessity of understanding the consequences of incubation services on incubatees and the larger ecosystem, and highlights the need for additional research on social, virtual, and corporate incubators.
