Abstract

The role of a business incubator is very crucial in higher education. Through business incubators, students who have businesses will be trainees to compete in global competition. The training can include technical skills, product marketing, and business development. This study aims to create a business incubator model in Open and Distance Learning (ODL) Higher Education. Data is collected through observation and literature review with the pentahelix element. The results of this research will contribute to the institution, academics, business, and industry as the basis for developing a business incubator model in ODL higher education.
