Abstract

The current study examines the role of university business incubators in transforming scientific research outputs into entrepreneurial startups, with a particular focus on the experience of the University of M’sila Business Incubator. The findings highlight the strategic role of university incubators in fostering economic development by creating investment and employment opportunities for students, researchers and faculty members. Furthermore, the University Incubators Program fosters an environment conducive to innovation and entrepreneurship, utilising contemporary technologies across pivotal and future-oriented sectors. In doing so, it equips young graduates with entrepreneurial skills through five key stages: learning from successful practices, identifying entrepreneurial opportunities, moulding personal capacities and talents, evaluating potential business competitors, and implementing innovative ideas and projects.
