Abstract

This research aims to analyze a model to create young entrepreneurs in Bengkalis. This study analyzed the role
of business incubator and the potential of local businesses in Bengkalis to develop a model for creating young entrepreneurs.
The analysis method used a mix method, which combines descriptive qualitative analysis and quantitative analysis.
Descriptive qualitative analysis is used to explain the perceptions of respondents through questionnaires. Quantitative
analysis uses Structural Equation Modelling - Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS) to identify the roles of Industrial Incubator
Based Learning and Local Business Potentials to Create Young Entrepreneurs. The research results suggest that there is
potential for further development of prospective local businesses, even though the number of young entrepreneurs relatively
small. The development of local businesses with greater support and resources potentially foster greater entrepreneurial
interest among young people. This research also found that The efforts by local governments and higher education
institutions to advance MSMEs have yet to reach their full potential. In addition, collaborative industrial incubator based
learning has been introduced as an integrated learning framework to create young entrepreneurs in Bengkalis.
