Purpose: The aim of this article is to identify and evaluate the research infrastructure and the scope of services offered by business incubators and technology parks in Poland. This evaluation specifically focuses on the development of technology start-ups operating in Industry 4.0. Design/methodology/approach: This study employed a netnographic survey method, encompassing the entire population of incubators and technology parks in Poland, including the start-ups operating within them. The analysis addressed three questions: Do parks and incubators specialize in supporting high-tech industries? How many companies are associated with a given park? Do the parks have facilities for conducting R&D services? The netnographic study reviewed the current state of services and laboratories, drawing on publicly accessible data from the websites of Polish technology parks and business incubators. Additionally, the article illustrates the importance of support from incubators and technology parks by presenting the development trajectories of the top startups in Poland in 2023, as recognized in the CEE Startup Challenge competition. Findings: Business incubators and technology parks are fundamental to the innovation ecosystem, contributing to technology transfer, creating innovative solutions, and supporting new enterprises. This article highlights the role of 73 technology parks and business incubators as foundational for the operation of startups, with particular emphasis on the space industry. It presents the number of laboratories dedicated to high-tech industries, categorized by voivodeships, and includes a brief discussion on the details of the technologies used. The industry specialization of technology parks and incubators, particularly in high-tech and space industries, is also explored. The analysis of the development trajectories of the best startups in Poland revealed that three out of six winning startups used the services of technology parks, two received support from the National Center for Research and Development, and one did not use any public support. Research limitations/implications: This article assesses technology parks and business incubators in the context of Industry 4.0 and examines how they support the entrepreneurship of technology startups. Future research should investigate startups in terms of diagnosing needs and assessing support received from these entities. It should also propose improvements in the operations of parks and incubators, with particular focus on the space industry. Suggestions for enterprises on adapting to Industry 4.0 requirements would be beneficial. Additionally, the potential influence of park and incubator analyses on investments in modern technologies in Poland, and whether these institutions contribute to economic growth by supporting innovative ventures, is worth exploring. Practical and Social implications: Knowledge about the role of technology parks and business incubators in Industry 4.0 can change societal attitudes towards entrepreneurship, innovation, and technology, fostering a positive approach to digital transformation. The research findings can inform public policy by highlighting the effectiveness of enterprise support in the Industry 4.0 era, potentially leading to more tailored government programs. The business and technology sector might adapt its standards and practices in light of these findings, thereby offering more effective support to start-ups and technology companies. The article is intended for scientists and researchers, business practitioners, entrepreneurs, and managers, providing valuable information, practical conclusions, and improvement tips in the context of Industry 4.0. It is also significant for policymakers responsible for shaping regulations and support programs for entrepreneurship. Originality/value: The article conducts a literature review to define the boundaries of hightech industries fundamental to Industry 4.0. The analysis of services and laboratories offered in parks and incubators in this context provides insight into how these institutions adapt to the evolving business environment. This comprehensive study of parks and incubators is the first of its kind in Poland.

Purpose: The article's main aim is to present issues related to the importance of business environment institutions (BEIs) in creating startup ecosystems, particularly in developing the Wrocław startup ecosystem. The specific goal is to identify the most important actors of the Wrocław ecosystem and present the offer of business environment institutions operating in the city, along with their assessment. Design/methodology/approach: To achieve the intended goals, the author based her considerations on analyzing the literature on the subject, using both Polish and foreign sources, including scientific articles and reports prepared by Polish and foreign organizations. The analysis of business environment institutions in Wrocław was based on information available on the official websites of these entities, e.g., araw.pl or startupwroclaw.pl. Additionally, in the last part, the author used the results of empirical research conducted in the form of individual in-depth interviews among startups, BEIs, and experts rooted in the Wrocław startup ecosystem to learn the respondents' opinions on the quality of the institutional environment of the ecosystem in which they operate. Findings: Business environment institutions are a vital element of effective startup ecosystems worldwide. Access and support from these institutions play an important role for startups, and their importance is constantly growing. Wrocław is well-rated as an ecosystem, offering a wide range of diverse business environment institutions that support startups in consulting, incubation, technology transfer, innovation development, and access to capital. The advantages of the city include customer approach, service in English, promotion of startups, and access to infrastructure enabling development and innovation. Despite the rich offer, not all startups use it, mainly due to the lack of information, which is one of the main shortcomings and is an element that requires improvement. The lack of coordination and flow of information between BEIs, and duplication of ideas or initiatives is a problem also indicated by the business environment institutions themselves, which see the solution in greater integration of activities, e.g., under the patronage of ARAW, which is the main animator of the Wrocław ecosystem. Other problems include limited possibilities of financing activities at various stages of development, lack of audit programs, and access to certain experts/advisors. Social implications: The best startup ecosystems in the world can attract and retain the best, brightest innovators who create solutions that can revolutionize various areas of life. Well-functioning business environment institutions are part of this success while constituting an excellent example for other BEIs to follow in the international space. Although Wrocław is not among the best ecosystems in the world, it can be said that it aspires to such a group, which is reflected in various reports and rankings of the world's best ecosystems. However, in Poland and Europe, mainly Central and Eastern Europe, it is at the forefront and can serve as a benchmark for other cities. Originality/value: Many studies on startup ecosystems and startups are found in the literature. These are often studies of a general nature or relating to the most recognizable ecosystems, such as Silicon Valley, London, or Singapore. The situation is similar regarding business environment institutions, it is possible to find studies on the statistics of their occurrence, tasks performed, and the general role they play in supporting entrepreneurship. The literature lacks studies on specific examples of the functioning and creation of startup ecosystems in Poland by business environment institutions. This article refers to the example of Wrocław, which may constitute a benchmark for other cities. The article's value points out the most important BEIs in the Wrocław startup ecosystem, defining their tasks and their assessment from the point of view of entities operating in it and pointing out the most critical shortcomings requiring improvement.

Purpose: The main purpose of this work is to analyze the attitudes, intentions and actions of young people in relation to educational programs on entrepreneurship. Design/methodology/approach: The survey of respondents was conducted through popular social networks in the region by filling out a questionnaire on the Internet. The sample group consisted of 179 people aged 17-35 years. Findings: Young people who refused to take part in an educational program on entrepreneurship, as a rule, have no ideas or projects for business and are characterized by zero entrepreneurial activity. Respondents from this group, in comparison with others, have a poor understanding of the goals and objectives of startups, and are also less likely than others to choose an intensive training program. All this may indicate that the real reason for the refusal of young people to participate in paid training programs may be a lack of motivation and a clear understanding by respondents of their vision of themselves as an entrepreneur. Research limitations/implications: The limitations of this study are related to the fact that the survey was of a regional nature for the target group of 17-35 years. In this regard, its results cannot be generalized. The results we have obtained provide a reasonable basis for further research on barriers to youth entrepreneurship. Practical implications: The research results are qualitatively, analyzed feedback from young people on the problems of low entrepreneurial activity which can be used to develop government measures to stimulate the private sector. In addition, the results provide a reasonable basis for further research on the role and relationship of financial and educational barriers to youth entrepreneurship. Social implications: The results of the research allow us to revise the measures of youth policy aimed at increasing entrepreneurial activity through the formation of sustainable behavioral entrepreneurial intentions. Originality/value: This study is an independent and comprehensive analysis of the low activity of young people in educational programs in the field of entrepreneurship.
