Abstract

In this paper, we contribute to the literature on business incubators by focusing on networked business incubators. Recent studies have highlighted the central role played by incubators in embedding a company within well-organised networks, which is a main factor for start-up success. In this vein, we conduct a systematic literature review of scientific papers, matching the issues of incubators and networks through Bibliometrix, an open-source R-package. The findings highlight the existence of five literature clusters, with their own set of features emphasising specific characteristics of the investigated phenomenon.
