Abstract: Abstract In Chap. 5 , we explored the process of business incubation that took place in INNOSPACE. After examining the pathways of all 20 participants, 6 individuals were selected to demonstrate their incubation experience and to examine the associated activities. To gain a more in-depth understanding of the entrepreneurial process we focused on the core of this process; opportunity identification and development. In Chap. 6 , we specifically examined the relationship between prior knowledge and opportunity identification. In this chapter, we extend that analysis by exploring the opportunity development process through a learning lens. Outcomes from the two previous chapters suggest that INNOSPACE played a key role in developing entrepreneurship by providing a physical facility, mentoring and business advice as well as creating social spaces to nurture those intangible resources crucial to the entrepreneurial process. We take the experiential learning framework (Chap. 3 ) to explore opportunity development within INNOSPACE.
