Portuguese term or phrase: incubadoras de empresas (within the context)
I have some doubts as to the exact meaning of this phrase. Are we talking about business centers, think tanks or the literal translation of Company or business incubators?? The full context follows:-

"existem parcerias entre os governos e as universidades para criar parques tecnológicos e incubadoras de empresas "
