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.engjournal articlehttps//doi.org/10.1016/j.techfore.2023.122419https://www.sciencedirect.com/journal/technological-forecasting-and-social-changerestricted access65.016.1C14 Semi-parametric and non-parametric Methods: General; L 26 entrepreneurship (Family Firms, SMES, Incubators, Accelerators, Start-ups and Spin-offs); L53 Enterprise PolicySemi-parametric and non-parametric MethodsEntrepreneurshipEnterprise PolicyCiencias Sociales53 Ciencias Económicas
