Stutups, Ecosystems, Incubators, AlgeriaAbstract
This study aims to extrapolate the reality of Startups in Algeria and shed light on the obstacles they face, in addition to identifying various ways to develop this type of institutions. Through this study, we concluded that the environment for Startups in Algeria is considered a relatively undeveloped and slow-growing environment, as these institutions face several problems, including the problem of obtaining financing and the lack of bodies supporting them.
