The findings reveal that the primary motivations for entrepreneurs to engage with incubators are the need for dedicated workspaces and access to support services such as coaching and mentoring. Overall, entrepreneurs who benefited from both physical accommodation and professional guidance reported a high level of satisfaction with the support provided. However, access to financing was identified as the least satisfactory aspect of the incubation experience, whereas the availability and affordability of office spaces were highly appreciated. Although the services offered by incubators vary according to the nature of the projects and the specific needs of startups, the results suggest that Algerian incubators are particularly effective in supporting matchmaking-oriented startups — those that facilitate connections between users and services and typically require minimal financial investment. Conversely, startups involved in the development of physical products that require prototyping or machining often face structural challenges, as most incubators lack the necessary technical infrastructure and resources to adequately support such ventures.

Bulgular, girişimcilerin kuluçka merkezlerine yönelmesindeki temel nedenlerin, çalışma alanı ihtiyacı ile koçluk ve mentorluk gibi destek hizmetlerine erişim olduğunu ortaya koymaktadır. Hem fiziksel mekân hem de profesyonel rehberlik hizmetlerinden yararlanan girişimciler, sunulan destekten genel olarak yüksek memnuniyet bildirmiştir. Bununla birlikte, finansmana erişim, kuluçka sürecinin en az tatmin edici yönü olarak öne çıkarken, ofis alanlarının mevcudiyeti ve erişilebilir fiyatları oldukça beğenilmiştir. Kuluçka merkezlerinin sunduğu hizmetler projelerin niteliğine ve girişimlerin özel ihtiyaçlarına göre değişiklik gösterse de, elde edilen sonuçlar, Cezayir’deki kuluçka merkezlerinin özellikle kullanıcılar ve hizmetler arasında bağlantı kurmaya yönelik, düşük finansman gerektiren “eşleştirme” temelli girişimleri desteklemede etkili olduğunu göstermektedir. Buna karşın, prototipleme veya mekanik üretim gerektiren fiziksel ürün geliştirmeye yönelik girişimler, mevcut kuluçka merkezlerinin gerekli teknik altyapı ve kaynaklara sahip olmaması nedeniyle ciddi yapısal zorluklarla karşı karşıya kalmaktadır.
