Abstract
Business incubators present themselves as an alternative to small and medium-sized enterprises, as they provide basic support for the assistance of these enterprises during their initial period of activities. This study has as its main objective to analyze the role of a technological incubator in the formation process of incubated companies. In order to do that, an exploratory case study of qualitative approach was carried out through semi-structured interviews with four incubated companies formed with the coordination of the analyzed incubator. The results show that the incubator has a central role in the development of enterprises and small businesses in their initial phase, besides it contributing to the regional development.
