Current practices of incubators in France, Italy, and The Netherlands on networking.
The Recommendations of IO1 Research report and the Qualitative findings of IO2 Research report highlight the role of incubators as facilitators, especially concerning the network and the ecosystem. Networking is perceived as one of the most sought services by entrepreneurs, especially migrants. This is because migrant entrepreneurs do not have the connections necessary to allow their business to thrive. The first chance at networking starts within the cohort of startups and entrepreneurs participating in the programs, while other networking events throughout or at the end of their programs, will allow the entrepreneurs to broaden their networks.
