Abstract
This study sets out to analyze the mechanisms that are applied in the underlying

construct of a technology business incubator to facilitate a network for it

members. By assessing the network facilitation through the incubator’s

management, infrastructure and support services, this thesis aim to portray where

and how nodes are connected, and what the outcome is for the entrepreneurs. The

findings implicate the infrastructure to be the baseline for internal network

building, and the management as the crucial factor for connecting nodes both

internally and externally. An open landscape combined with the managers’

external network, experience, knowledge and ability to connect nodes is

emphasized as main factors to succeed with successful network building in the

incubator. The selection process at StartupLab portrayed a synergy effect, as the

highly competent environment attracted interested external nodes, leading to

external validity for its members from being part of the community. Finally,

support services are portrayed as a crucial factor to connect members to both

internal and external nodes to gain access to investments, customers, experience

and knowledge, and the possibility to collaborate with external and internal actors
