QIncubate is designed for building superior business Incubators.

Based on the US National Business Incubator Association’s (NBIA) best practice model, QIncubate assesses incubator support services and functions. It is designed for the New Zealand model but is easily customizable for other countries.

NBIA developed best practices for the incubator industry in 1996, and research has shown that incubation programs that implement these best practices outperform those that do not. The guidelines are replicable and broadly applicable to incubation programs around the world, regardless of focus or mission.

An abridged version of QIncubate (QIncubate Mini) developed by the Science Park Innovation Centre Experts Group (SPICE), is also available.
