        ncubators assist emerging ventures by providing support services and assistance in developing their business. We map business incubators into four categories: Business Innovation Centers (BICs), University Business Incubators (UBIs), Independent Private Incubators (IPIs) and Corporate Private Incubators (CPIs). We then argue that the variety of incubating organization is driven by the evolution of companies, requirements and needs, which encourage incubators to differentiate the range of services that they offer. We believe that differences in the way incubators run their business can be described by two main incubating models (model 1 and model 2), providing incubators with useful indications on how to position themselves strategically. We identify a list of incubator "characterizing" variable to highlight the main differences between the four types of incubators and to describe the incubating models. Manuscript profile

        One of the most important and vital factors for establishing a knowledge based economy is making smart infrastructures. It is obvious that continuous evaluation of performance in these infrastructures is a very important factor. Science &Technology parks and Incubators are important infrastructures in these processes and continuous evaluation together with monitoring. For evaluation of S&T parks and Incubators, we need to consider: Initiating and formation cycle, goals, functions and actions, services and performance effects evaluation. In this paper we attempt to introduce some relevant parameters and measuring criteria based on experiments and literature review. Outputs, Added Value and best practices in S&T parks and Incubators are the main bases for introducing performance evaluation measurements. Manuscript profile
