Abstract
Organizations and policy makers seek to support business and entrepreneurship through facilitating new product and service development, for instance in business incubators. Taking stock of existing research and combining this with practitioner's insights, this study aims to identify a comprehensive set of design principles for incubation practices in a particular sector, the European space sector. We provide a synthesis of business incubation practices, resulting in a set of actionable design principles that also serves to tailor solutions for other contexts.

This study was partially supported by a research grant from the Netherlands Space Office and the European Space Agency . National technology policy. Due to the central role of governments in the space sector, alignment to national technology policy is vital, and sometimes crucial for business success. Both the Dutch an UK government have created national technology development roadmaps, and provide funding aligned with these roadmaps. Yet, some entrepreneurs are confused by the multiple priorities reflected in these roadmaps. “A current set of 14–15 roadmaps with many topics does not lead to a focused allocation of resources” [NL_COMP5b].This study was partially supported by a research grant from the Netherlands Space Office and the European Space Agency, and one of the authors is employed at the strategy department of the European Space Agency.An earlier version of this study was presented at the Academy of Management (2018) Annual Meeting in Chicago, IL.
