Abstract: Abstract The overall aim of the study is to explore the role of university-based incubators (UBIs) in developing entrepreneurship using a framework drawing on entrepreneurial learning and opportunity identification and development (Fig. 3.3 ). This aim can be broken down into two principal areas of research: the creation of an entrepreneurial learning community of practice and opportunity development. Prospective entrepreneurs may have pre-existing business ideas that they bring to the UBI. The study will investigate the entrepreneurial learning process by focusing on how entrepreneurs acquire knowledge to start and nurture their businesses during the incubation period. We build on this understanding to explore how an individual’s entrepreneurial learning interacts with opportunity development during the incubation process. By bringing these two strands of research together, the study provides new insights into the role of UBIs in developing entrepreneurship.
