  abstract = {It is widely believed that entrepreneurship is an engine of nowadays economic and that entrepreneurial activities should be supported as much as they can be. As one of their support way have been recognized business incubation models. Business incubators are considered as a valuable source of nurture of new entrepreneurial ventures. Especially, fresh entrepreneurs are in focus of major support program politics because each start-up is very delicate and risky matter and should be supported by special business development services. It is clear, that it is spoken primarily about small and middle sized enterprise (SME) sector that has emerged as the most dynamic and turbulent part of national economics. Therefore, SME entrepreneurial activities are seen as the main source of economic development and global competitiveness. Naturally, SME activities are so in the center of business incubation focus. However, an essential question should be asked: Does it work? Is the incubation support system well-structured and helpful for entrepreneurship activities? There has been observed a slight tendency to let incubation activities escape by systematic review due to lack of data. To clarify this issue, an observation of chosen incubator samples was carried out. The cornerstone of this observation was structured on the existing body of knowledge of the area of business incubation and its relation to entrepreneurship. This study uses a two-ways approach: first approach is focused on discussing gained data from the carried out observations and its comparison to the already existing data. Second approach is focused on demonstrative examples of best practices. },
