The research investigates the role and significance of incubators in Morocco's entrepreneurial ecosystem, specif-ically in relation to the FORSA-2022 program. It focuses on how incubators establish mutually beneficial relation-ships with entrepreneurs to overcome obstacles to sustained innovation. As a crucial link between entrepreneurs and the external environment, incubators provide essential support. This is a case study, which presents a com-prehensive exploration of a prominent regional incubator situated in Casablanca. The investigation delves into the intricacies of executing the government's FORSA-2022 program, closely analyzing the challenges faced by ac-celerators. Additionally, the study delves into the hurdles experienced by project initiators, which act as barriers to the successful realization of their endeavors. This analysis marks an initial stride towards strengthening the role of incubators for more performance and profitability in order to create strategies that can effectively improve the competitive strength of start-ups in Morocco.
