Abstract

In this chapter, we draw together findings, based on data from twenty incubatees to discuss the contribution to knowledge. We also discuss the implications of the research for those running or managing business incubators, prospective and existing incubatees, as well as policymakers. The overall aim of the research was to explore the role of business incubators in developing a learning community of practice for new entrepreneurs. After mapping the process of starting a business in INNOSPACE, we used six selected cases to demonstrate the varying pathways through the business incubation process. Chapter 5 unravels the experiences of starting up a business in a UBI environment. Chapter 6 mainly focuses on the impact of prior knowledge on opportunity identification. Chapter 7 explores the interaction between opportunity development and entrepreneurial learning during incubatees’ INNOSPACE tenancy.
