| Abstract |
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate and identify three categories of incubators in the United States (US) located in New York (NY). The incubator categories are: 1) technology commercialisation; 2) economic development; and 3) entrepreneurship. Methodology The study uses a qualitative approach based on interviews concerning three incubator programmes selected for their successful outcomes. Findings The research findings suggest four priorities for incubators: 1) to be dynamic models of self-sustainable, efficient business development; 2) to provide helpful tools for generating jobs; 3) to foster and support enterprise and innovation to create the best environment for the start-up and smart growth of businesses; and 4) to support value-added businesses through various means, such as developing the region's science parks and R&D centres, improving collaboration between universities, and supporting business investment and growth. Originality/value The research adds value to academicians and practitioners such as government, funded organisations, institutions and policy-makers. |
