Networking and Support Services (Incubators and Accelerators) as Drivers of SMEs’ Business Performance: Conceptual Framework for SMEs in Malaysia.

SMEs continue to serve as a cornerstone of economic development and growth across nations. Their success is closely linked to the effectiveness of networking activities and support services (incubator and accelerator). A conceptual framework and proposed methodology will be presented in this paper to access the impact of networking and support services (incubator and accelerator) on the business performance among SMEs in Selangor, Malaysia. The proposed conceptual research offers valuable guidance for scholars seeking to evaluate the influence of networking and support service mechanisms on SME outcomes, also providing critical insights in designing targeted initiatives that foster SME growth and sustainability particularly for stakeholders and policymakers.
