Abstract

This main objective of this paper is to analyze the contributions of business incubators as agents for stimulating entrepreneurship learning through an exploratory qualitative study carried out through interviews with Business Administration students working in incubators, in the Brazilian state of Santa Catarina. The main results show that practical learning of entrepreneurship absorbed in the daily tasks of an incubator environment is highly valued by students, and this learning is strongly based on the exchange of experience and information between students and incubated firms, in large part due to the flexibility, diversity and autonomy experienced during the internship. This study also reinforces the need to seek out new methodologies and tools for teaching entrepreneurship, providing effective and practical learning, and presents the incubator as a potential environment that has so far been poorly explored for this purpose.
