Abstract

The MicroBiz Incubation Program was implemented in Panabo City in 2011 to support and enhancing the capability of local entrepreneurs. This systematic review evaluates the program's ability to bring about a successful entrepreneurial journey and regional development. This study utilizes the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) framework, integrating literature and empirical evidence on mechanisms, challenges, and outcomes regarding MBIP. The findings bring out the relevance of critical success factors like mentorship, financial access, and conducive policies but simultaneously point to shortcomings in infrastructure as well as underutilized resources. Additionally, recommendations for this study formulate approaches toward local governance to spur entrepreneurial ecosystems sustainably.
