Entrepreneurship as a source of economic and social development, together with the various business support entities, has been the focus of several studies in recent years. Among the most recently studied subjects, there is the phenomenon of Incubators, which seem to play a key role in the development of successful business ideas. Germany, one of the main European economies that in recent years, together with the UK has made the largest investments in start-ups, is one of the most interesting countries in terms of Incubator activity, just after Asia and the United States. The aim of this study is to analyse the spread of the Incubator phenomenon in Germany and its consequent socio-economic impact.
