Abstract :Purpose The purpose of this study is to analyze the impact of the incubators on entrepreneurial processes in Turkey. Methodology- We divided incubators in the sample universe into four different categories that are business based, university-private based, university-based and municipality incubators. We deciphered semi-structured and the face-to-face interviews, which were conducted in the incubation determined by the expert opinion, and interpreted the findings in the light of the purpose of the study. Findings- We can conclude that there is a significant increase in the number of incubation centers and startups in Turkey where incubators help develop startups by providing advisory and administrative support services. Conclusion- In general, the financial reasons and the need for convenient access make this criterion a vital one. However, it is also significant in terms of its proximity to the business center and the transportation network of the city, and its high accessibility for mentors.Keywords : Incubator, incubator models, entrepreneurship, entrepreneurship process, Turkey
