Graduates from business schools are outnumbering jobs. There is a strong need to encourage individuals to start their own businesses, which will create opportunities not only for themselves but also for others. This research paper enumerates the challenges faced by the entrepreneurs. Seven characteristics have been identified leading to strong entrepreneurial drive. In addition, business incubation with a specific context of Saudi Arabian economy has been discussed, since business incubation provides an immaculate support system for fresh entrepreneurs; Saudi Arabia embarks the transition from conventional economy into a knowledge-based economy through BADIR programme for technology incubators. This implies improving the national innovation capacity and developing an ecosystem for technopreneurship.
