This paper investigates how Kuwait’s young population (university students) reckons business incubation as an encouragement vehicle to promote small business creation at the time students finish their university schooling. Mainly, it attempts to measure how Kuwaiti university students view small business ventures. This might be very crucial as the main economic challenges in Kuwait now relate to the compelling need for economic diversification. The results mainly show a high willingness for both males and females to participate in small business creation.
