This book explores how new ideas can be transformed into successful businesses, through the nurturing of Business Incubators. Start-up companies cobbled together by young entrepreneurs are placed under one roof in order to share services and resources. This allows them to play major roles in IT, life sciences, industry and a host of other fields in both developing and developed countries. How does Business Incubation (BI) work ; how do young entrepreneurs, often operating on a shoestring, succeed in attracting major financing from the public or private sectors, or from public-private-partnerships (PPPs) ; Some make it all the way to the stock market, while others crash.
