Business Incubation Hub Guidebook

This guidebook from The Education Collaborative is a step-by-step toolkit helping African universities design, launch, or strengthen entrepreneurship incubation hubs. It explains what an incubation hub is and distinguishes it from related spaces, then guides institutions through three phases: planning, including vision, SMART goals, stakeholders, research, and sustainability; setup and operations, covering staffing, services, programs, curriculum, communications, partnerships, facilities, makerspaces, and budgeting; and post-incubation strategies for impact measurement and graduation. Worksheets, tools, and case studies help each institution tailor the hub to its context.
