Entrepreneurship support: success factors for an incubator programme

On 12 December, the Policy Learning Platform is hosting a webinar on the topic of entrepreneurship and what factors make an incubator programme a success. Join us from 14:00 to 15:30 to discover the answer! 

Incubators and pre-accelerator programmes are well known and present in many regions across Europe. Some are small initiatives on the local level while others are global networks with hubs across Europe.

While many incubators are privately run, there are also various public initiatives launched by regional authorities or development agencies. Most people agree that incubators are needed to support startups and ensure a higher survival rate. However, several questions remain:

• What makes an incubator successful?
• What considerations and methodologies that an incubator needs to implement to provide useful support to entrepreneurs?
• What is needed beyond mentoring, workshops and coworking spaces?
• What are the latest trends in incubation? 

These topics will be discussed during our webinar on the success factor of an incubator programme.
