Additionally, a review of the existing literature was conducted.

Between the existing literature and the empirical data that we have collected, it is largely agreed that collaboration and the sharing of knowledge is crucial to the success of startup
ventures within an ecosystem, and that entrepreneurs can utilise this knowledge to progress their business.

Overall, the research found that incubators seek to create mutually beneficial value through open communication with startups on sustainable operations, and doing so act as centres of resources to be obtained. (Less)
