Abstract: Today there are hundreds of new incubators established. The figure is still rising drastically, especially for incubators focusing on technology development. This phenomenal trend acknowledges the importance of incubation policy as one of the means of job creation and accumulation of knowledge in regions. Receiving vast attention as a significant instrument, incubators have convinced many policy makers who rush into applying the strategy in their own regions. Nevertheless, our knowledge about how incubators work to accomplish their objectives is rather inadequate. In this paper, we would like to argue that there are some factors playing a role in the development of incubators. The findings disclose the different factors contributing to the incubators' performance at different times of establishment. Among these factors are: Actors' involvement, regional economy, entrepreneurial culture and types of incubator support.
