Abstract
This paper explores how an entrepreneurship incubator “The Port”, and Accelerated Entrepreneurship Development Program (ACE) module can serve as a platform for innovative teaching and learning in higher education. Moving beyond traditional classroom methods, this study examines how incubator-based experiential learning fosters student engagement, critical thinking, real-world problem-solving, and interdisciplinary collaboration. Through case studies, interviews, and student feedback, the paper investigates the impact of integrating incubator activities into academic curricula and how such integration reshapes the role of instructors from content deliverers to facilitators and mentors. The findings aim to offer a model for educational institutions seeking to enhance learning through entrepreneurship and innovation environments.
