This study conceptualizes business incubators as pivotal institutional actors within startupecosystems and examines their evolving role in supporting innovation-driven entrepreneurship.The study employs a qualitative conceptual approach that combines systematic literature analysis,comparative evaluation, and theoretical synthesis. The analysis explores the functional roles of businessincubators, their interaction mechanisms with startups, and their evolutionary development within entrepreneurialsupport infrastructures.Building on established theoretical perspectives, including institutional theory, the resource-based view,ecosystem theory, and network theory, the study develops a multidimensional framework that systematizes therole of business incubators across key functional domains. In addition, a theoretical matrix is proposed to mapcore incubator functions to corresponding scientific perspectives, enabling a more structured interpretation oftheir systemic impact.The findings contribute to a more integrated understanding of business incubators as hybrid institutionalmechanisms that simultaneously operate as resource providers, knowledge intermediaries, and ecosystemcoordinators. This study advances the academic literature by proposing a consolidated conceptual model thatclarifies the position of business incubators within startup ecosystems and highlights their role in facilitatinginnovation-driven development.
