RT Journal Article T1 Promotion of entrepreneurship through business incubators: Regional analysis in Spain A1 Rosado Cubero, Ana Isabel A1 Hernández Estrada, Adolfo A1 Blanco Jiménez, Francisco José A1 Freire Rubio, María Teresa AB This study focuses on business incubators in Spain, which helps compare regions within Spain. This study has four goals: to shape taxonomy of the Spanish business incubator system, to compare between regions, to identify the factors affecting incubators' success, and to analyse during the COVID pandemic. Of the 478 business incubators registered in Spain, 89 were selected as the sample for study. Business incubators provide office space, equipment and mentoring services, as well as financial, legal and administrative support for entrepreneurs and start-up companies. Non-parametric statistical techniques are used to compare between regions, considering each regional business incubator as an ecosystem. The study focuses on six Spanish regions: Madrid, Catalonia, Castile-Leon, Aragon, Basque Country and Galicia.
