Incubator Management: Best Practices and Business Models
Incubators and accelerators provide a range of support services to start-up companies. They operate in an environment characterized by constrained resources, inexperienced entrepreneurs, limited capital, and high business uncertainty. They serve multiple purposes — with priorities ranked differently depending on which stakeholder asked.
Our project focuses on establishing best practices in five types of incubators (regional business incubators, university incubators, company-internal incubators, independent commercial incubators, and virtual incubators) by identifying key value driving activities in seven generic core incubation phases. We also analyze different levels of performance capability of each one of these practices. Structured as a global benchmark, this project gathers insight from incubator practice from the US, the UK, France, Switzerland, China, Japan, India, Russia, Sweden, Denmark, Germany, Italy, and others. It builds on similar work done during 2000-2003, revisiting some of the same incubators and determining which practices have led to superior survival (and which haven’t).
GLORAD Research Associates Manfred Ortmaier, Oscar Coster and Ugur-Mikail Catmak are leading this project from Sweden and Germany, with Anna Kochenkova, Nikita Rodichenko and Andrii Omelianovych collaborating at Skoltech in Moscow.
