Science and technology business incubator (hereinafter referred to as incubator) is a service carrier of science and technology entrepreneurship for the purpose of promoting the transformation of scientific and technological achievements and cultivating high-tech enterprises and entrepreneurs, and is a base for cultivating innovative and entrepreneurial talents. Incubators mainly provide administrative services for science and technology entrepreneurs to establish science and technology enterprises, and provide basic public services such as entrepreneurship counseling, administrative agency, information release, investment and financing, technical support, consulting and training, and property management for science and technology enterprises that have settled in incubators. Through these services, "from the incidental work of most people to the specialized work of a few people, they enter their special industries." It can reduce the useless consumption of manpower, or help to free up production time "(Marx's Capital, Volume II, People's Publishing House,1June 1975, p. 148). Incubators provide systematic and preferential services for technology entrepreneurs and incubating enterprises, which greatly reduces the cost and risk of technology entrepreneurship, creates an environment conducive to the healthy development of technology entrepreneurship and incubating enterprises, and becomes a technology incubator.
Practice has proved that the "survival rate" of technology start-ups entering incubators can generally reach more than 90%, which is more than 30 percentage points higher than that of technology start-ups not entering incubators. Therefore, incubators have become the first choice for technology entrepreneurs to engage in technology entrepreneurship.
