In the UK it is estimated that around 80 universities run innovation incubators or accelerators. Although often conflated, incubators and accelerators are different. An incubator is effectively a real estate offering, where spin-out and start-up companies can rent office or lab space within onsite business support. An accelerator is typically a fixed term cohort-based programme for companies that provides education, mentorship, and access to networks, including investors.
