The Role Of The University Incubator In Promoting The Entrepreneurial Spirit Among Students – The Case Of The Higher School Of Commerce At The University Center Of Kolea In Tipaza (algeria)

Résumé: Nowadays, entrepreneurial support structures are attracting more and more interest from decision-makers as these structures represent a key determinant for the development of startups. Incubators, which are identified and discussed in detail in the present work, are among these organizations that play a particularly important role in promoting the entrepreneurial spirit and supporting project leaders. For this, it was deemed appropriate to conduct a quantitative study, using an investigation tool, i.e. a questionnaire, on future graduates in their final year of study in the Higher School of Commerce at the University Center of Kolea in the Wilaya (Province) of Tipaza (Algeria). Hence, a business simulation exercise, such as for example an incubation process that integrates the entrepreneurial intention of students and their approach towards entrepreneurial support structures, in particular incubators, was carried out. The main results of this empirical study showed that the incubator provides great advantages and benefits for the future of project holders. In addition, the incubator also allows it to be better equipped in order to gain a deeper understanding of the economic environment in all its complexity.
