Effective Social Incubation - First Insights from Asia
DBS Foundation has partnered with AVPN (Asia Venture Philanthropy Network) to conduct a qualitative study on the success factors and effectiveness of 15 social incubators in Asia. Covering incubators in Indonesia, Thailand, Japan, China, Taiwan, India, Hong Kong and Singapore, this research paper is the first of its kind from Asia and takes learnings from global studies already conducted, like the Global Accelerator Learning Initiative from Emory University and the Aspen Network of Development Enterprises in the US. This research provides a baseline for comparison of the researched incubators (covering Greenfield start-ups, Brownfield - NGOs converting to SEs etc) to measure how well they are in what they do.
