Incubators often work to address the financing gap experienced by technology entrepreneurs, as well as to affect policies and regulations that impact entrepreneurship in the country. The study also reveals that "entrepreneurial attitudes" are often one of the key barriers to entrepreneurship, a challenge that the incubators help to address by raising-awareness for local entrepreneurs. http://www.idisc.net/en/Article.38385.html Thu, 02 Nov 2006 22:01:17 GMT http://www.idisc.net/en/Article.38385.html [Network Member] Viet Nam http://www.idisc.net/en/Incubator.30.html Wed, 25 Oct 2006 00:00:00 GMT http://www.idisc.net/en/Incubator.30.html [Network Member] India http://www.idisc.net/en/Incubator.15.html Wed, 25 Oct 2006 00:00:00 GMT http://www.idisc.net/en/Incubator.15.html [Network Member] Mongolia http://www.idisc.net/en/Incubator.23.html Wed, 25 Oct 2006 00:00:00 GMT http://www.idisc.net/en/Incubator.23.html [Network Member] Nepal http://www.idisc.net/en/Incubator.24.html Wed, 25 Oct 2006 00:00:00 GMT http://www.idisc.net/en/Incubator.24.html [Network Member] Thailand http://www.idisc.net/en/Incubator.29.html Wed, 25 Oct 2006 00:00:00 GMT http://www.idisc.net/en/Incubator.29.html [Network Member] India http://www.idisc.net/en/Incubator.18.html Wed, 25 Oct 2006 00:00:00 GMT http://www.idisc.net/en/Incubator.18.html [Network Member] China http://www.idisc.net/en/Incubator.14.html Wed, 25 Oct 2006 00:00:00 GMT http://www.idisc.net/en/Incubator.14.html [Network Member] Sri Lanka http://www.idisc.net/en/Incubator.26.html Wed, 25 Oct 2006 00:00:00 GMT http://www.idisc.net/en/Incubator.26.html [Network Member] China http://www.idisc.net/en/Incubator.13.html Wed, 25 Oct 2006 00:00:00 GMT http://www.idisc.net/en/Incubator.13.html [Network Member] India http://www.idisc.net/en/Incubator.16.html Wed, 25 Oct 2006 00:00:00 GMT http://www.idisc.net/en/Incubator.16.html [Network Member] Philippines http://www.idisc.net/en/Incubator.25.html Wed, 25 Oct 2006 00:00:00 GMT http://www.idisc.net/en/Incubator.25.html [Network Member] India http://www.idisc.net/en/Incubator.19.html Wed, 25 Oct 2006 00:00:00 GMT http://www.idisc.net/en/Incubator.19.html [Network Member] China http://www.idisc.net/en/Incubator.12.html Wed, 25 Oct 2006 00:00:00 GMT http://www.idisc.net/en/Incubator.12.html [Presentation] http://www.idisc.net/en/Publication.387.html Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 GMT http://www.idisc.net/en/Publication.387.html [Report] http://www.idisc.net/en/Publication.376.html Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 GMT http://www.idisc.net/en/Publication.376.html [Report] http://www.idisc.net/en/Publication.352.html Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 GMT http://www.idisc.net/en/Publication.352.html [Report] http://www.idisc.net/en/Publication.251.html Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 GMT http://www.idisc.net/en/Publication.251.html [Report] http://www.idisc.net/en/Publication.252.html Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 GMT http://www.idisc.net/en/Publication.252.html [Report] http://www.idisc.net/en/Publication.384.html Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 GMT http://www.idisc.net/en/Publication.384.html [Report] http://www.idisc.net/en/Publication.253.html Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 GMT http://www.idisc.net/en/Publication.253.html [Presentation] http://www.idisc.net/en/Publication.372.html Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 GMT http://www.idisc.net/en/Publication.372.html [Report] The second Capacity Building Programme for the Business Incubation Managers of Asia Pacific Incubation Network (APIN) was organized by PSG-Science & Technology Entrepreneurial Park (PSG-STEP) – the APIN Secretariat - during December 10-14, 2009 in Ooty, India. http://www.idisc.net/en/Publication.391.html Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 GMT http://www.idisc.net/en/Publication.391.html [Analysis] http://www.idisc.net/en/Publication.353.html Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 GMT http://www.idisc.net/en/Publication.353.html [Report] http://www.idisc.net/en/Publication.347.html Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 GMT http://www.idisc.net/en/Publication.347.html
