What is an incubator?

The definition of incubator in the UN Plan is: a controlled environment specially designed for cultivating new enterprises, in which an attempt is made to create a condition to cultivate, support and develop some successful small enterprises and successful entrepreneurs. However, the development of incubators in China is mainly to promote and realize the industrialization of high technology. The Outline for the Development of Science and Technology Business Incubators in China during the Tenth Five-Year Plan (Guo Kefa Fa Zi [20065438+0] No.237) defines the incubator and its functions as: the science and technology business incubator is a specialized service organization of the science and technology industry, which quickly and efficiently transforms scientific and technological resources into social productive forces, cultivates successful start-ups and rapid growth of small and medium-sized science and technology enterprises, and accelerates regional and national development.

We believe that the essence of the incubator is the service center for innovation, and its main function is to promote the commercialization, marketization and industrialization of scientific and technological achievements and ideas with market prospects, and to cultivate scientific and technological enterprises and entrepreneurs. Incubators make all kinds of innovation elements interact through technological innovation, organizational innovation and management innovation, and combine all kinds of forces that affect incubating enterprises into a joint force to rapidly promote the development of incubating enterprises. So the name of the incubator is also called innovation center and enterprise center.
