“…These programs can entail educational components, as well as mentorship moments, which come to a conclusion in a final event [24]. Most BA offer an initial seed investment in exchange for services and space [23] and target a specific sector, such as manufacturing, health care, IT [25], biotechnology, or telecommunications [26], while others have a horizontal perspective focusing instead on the region [27].…”

This review aims to identify the typologies of business incubators (BI) and business accelerators (BA) and to define a taxonomy integrating both the BI’s and BA’s characteristics and services portfolio, facilitating the adoption of open innovation practices. A systematic literature review (SLR) was carried out encompassing the research topic concerning the relationship between the incubation structures and the performance of technology-based ventures. This comprehensive SLR encompasses a total of 1614 publications, aiming to advance the knowledge on BI and BA. This SLR allowed for the identification of current trends and future challenges, as well as of the most important authors, publications, and journals in this research framework. This SLR establishes a new taxonomy for BI and BA, based upon three main pillars: human capital, social capital, and organizational capital. BI and BA help in the development of new high-technology ventures, by being facilitators for open innovation practices. This SLR is limited by the literature, as the collection of publications was performed exclusively through ISI Web of Science (WoS). Further research can be made into the modes of how these structures impact open innovation practices at the regional level using a knowledge spillover approach.

“…As factories, they are a capital-intensive investment that enables their operator to take in raw materials, transform them and manufacture start-ups. Like clusters, many accelerators target a specific sector, such as manufacturing or biotech (Hochberg 2015;Malek, Maine, and McCarthy 2014), while others have a horizontal perspective focusing instead on the region such as a state or territory (Price 2004); some even specialize in a specific demographic, such as women. (4) Mentoring; and (5) Physical co-location, as also adopted by recent national policy (e.g., NISA's Incubator Support Programme in 2015) and recent critical reviews of the impact of accelerators (e.g., Miles et al 2017).…”

Public infrastructures to support innovative entrepreneurship are among the instruments that governments deploy to strengthen entrepreneurship and innovation (OECD 2011). Such infrastructures act as intermediaries (Chatterji, Glaeser, and Kerr 2013), and their principal mission consists of providing services that aim to boost one or more phases of innovative activity in the fields of knowledge and technology creation and acquisition. Public infrastructures also prepare companies to produce and commercialize their products or services" Roig-Tierno, Alcázar, and Ribeiro-Navarrete (2015, 2291-92, emphasis added). "More generally, infrastructure is found to be positively associated with start-up activity. However, the association is apparently specific to both the particular type of infrastructure, as well as the particular industry context…" Audretsch, Heger, and Veith (2015, 226, emphasis added).

“…In fact, learning process is accelerated by them. Finally, mentorship services are other issues to be considered as accelerating factors in shortening the learning curve of start-ups (Price, 2004). In sum, start-up accelerators do not have to go through a typical process of trial and error but these entities could shorten the learning curve of start-ups (de Oliveira & Filipe, 2011).…”

Business accelerators are playing a key role in facilitating the process of new venture creation. Start-ups generally look for the best accelerators to make their long journey short. Media start-ups also look for a supportive mechanism to fasten their start-up experience. In this process, one of the main issues is to shorten their learning curve which is possible by use of start-up accelerators. Therefore, this chapter deals with the idea that which factors are important in this regard. To do so, first, a brief review of the support mechanisms is presented, and it is discussed that how start-up accelerators shorten the learning curve of the start-ups. Then, five media start-ups which were created in accelerators are studied. All of the cases were established after 2014, since the accelerators started working from the same year. According to the findings, there are mainly six reasons for shortening of the learning curve by start-up accelerators, including: (1) Short creation period, (2) Seminars and courses, (3) Co-working space, (4) Divided teams, (5) Cohort peers, and (6) Mentorship.
