“孵化器”助力大学生创业

What entrepreneurial students mention the most when talking about challenges is their lack of experience, funding and a business location. But there is a solution for these problems: a start-up business incubator that offers rent subsidies, financial support and start-up training.
要问学生创业时所面对的难题，很多人都会提到缺乏经验、资金以及办公场所。而如今有了可以提供租金补贴、经济支持和创业培训的“创业孵化器”，这些问题统统迎刃而解了。

Let’s take a look at some of these incubators and how students, both enrolled and fresh graduates can apply for them.
就让我们一起走进这些孵化器，了解一下在校生以及应届毕业生该如何申请吧！

Case 1: Qingdao Business Incubator Center for University Students
案例一：青岛大学生创业孵化中心

Many incubators are established by national and local human resources and social security bureaus. Qingdao Business Incubator Center for University Students is one of them. It was created by the human resources and social security bureau of Qingdao, so students who set up a business there can get help from the local government.
很多孵化器由国家及地方人力资源和社会保障部门创建的。青岛大学生创业孵化中心就是其中之一，它由青岛市人力资源和社会保障局建立，这样一来创业学生便可以取得当地政府的帮助了。

Case 3: business incubator for students in Hefei Economic & Technological Development Area
案例三：合肥经济技术开发区大学生创业孵化基地

There are some private funded incubators available for students.

The disadvantage of these incubators is that students can’t get as much help as they can get from a public funded incubator.
此外，还有一些民营创业孵化器向学生开放。例如，合肥经济技术开发区大学生创业孵化基地与一些高校通力合作，在那里，学生可申请办公场所。这些孵化器的缺点就是学生获得的帮助不如从国有孵化器那里得到的多。

The basic requirements and application procedure are similar for most business incubators. But there are some factors that can increase your chances of joining a business incubator.
