Authors : Slimani Saida .

Abstract

This study investigates the strategic role of university incubators in supporting entrepreneurship and fostering start-up development within the local economic environment. An empirical study was conducted at Batna 1 and Constantine 2 Universities using a descriptive–analytical approach. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire distributed to a purposive sample of 55 faculty members, representing 93.22% of the total population of 59 professors specializing in entrepreneurship and actively involved with university incubators. The findings reveal statistically significant evidence confirming that university incubators play a vital role in stimulating entrepreneurial initiatives and enhancing the development of emerging ventures associated with university entrepreneurship centers. Furthermore, the results emphasize the incubators’ contribution to creating a dynamic ecosystem that bridges academic research with practical innovation. Based on these outcomes, the study recommends strengthening institutional integration between incubators and universities to establish an innovation-oriented educational environment conducive to entrepreneurship. It also highlights the need for specialized training programs aimed at developing entrepreneurial and leadership skills, with a strong focus on innovation and digital transformation. Finally, the study advocates for the creation of sustainable financial support mechanisms and professional networking platforms to promote collaboration among entrepreneurs, investors, and experts.
