Technological innovation and entrepreneurship can promote regional economic development through the creation of new business ventures. The main critical factor of success is the presence of an infrastructure for entrepreneurial innovation, including New Business Incubators and Technology Parks. The paper discusses the basic elements of the infrastructure and how they can be planned and implemented. An illustrative example is the case history of work done in Cuernavaca, Mexico. The lessons learned from this project and similar projects in the USA and France are summarized and emphasis is given to the key role of an executive champion.
