The research aims to investigate the contribution of incubators to the development of assisted companies. The research is descriptive in nature. Data collection was performed based on secondary data from bibliographic sources and primary data collected through a field survey. We chose field research through the application of questionnaires, one for the companies and another for the incubator.
