Abstract

This paper presents and analyses the Virtual Pre-Incubator approach. In brief, Virtual Incubation can act as a stepping stone for potential pre-incubator and incubator clients. On the basis of the above-mentioned approach, a pilot project is established with the purpose of providing an environment where all would-be entrepreneurs, with a feasible business idea will be involved in a learning process that would help them to acquire the tools and skills required to implement their ideas for a successful start-up.
