520 Business incubators are viewed by many countries'
governments as dynamic tools for fostering new ventures
regarding economic development, job creation and as vital
components of an entrepreneurial infrastructure. While
there are over 7,000 business incubators worldwide, only
21 are in existence in the Middle East. This book argues
that business incubators must be adapted by Arab countries
to support diversifying their economies, the
commercialization of new technologies, job creation and
wealth building. The book describes and compares key
indicators of incubation best practices worldwide to
identify the strengths and weaknesses of business
incubator models around the world. In doing so this
investigation uses successful international case studies
based on models in developed and developing countries. The
data was mainly collected by survey, semi-structured
interviews and organizational documents from each case
study. The book provides a roadmap for the development of
new economies based on technology, as well as value added
in technology transfer, innovation development, and an
entrepreneurial climate.
