The main purpose of an incubator is to help startups at a very early stage to grow. They are collaborative programmes which help people solve problems associated with launching a startup by providing a space to work, seed funding, mentoring, training and other benefits.

An incubator is a place where the incubation activities are carried out, and where the would‐be entrepreneurs and the existing SMEs find a suitable place, in terms of facilities and expertise, to address their needs and develop their business ideas, and transform them into sustainable realities.

Incubation is a process which tends to be activated whenever there is a need to support entrepreneurs in developing their own business.
