| | | incubators | Explanation:
or incubation centres. I translated a Dutch life sciences action plan a while back and this term was used frequently. My research at the time showed that "incubators" was a common term. Here's how the term was used in the text (my translation):
- Incubators. Shared premises offering office space, lab facilities and other shared facilities for new Life Sciences companies;
- Incubators are intended to provide proper accommodation for start-up Life Sciences companies. An incubator comprises business premises with office space, lab facilities and generic counselling services;
- The incubator must offer accommodation for at least 10 start-up companies. It must also be located in the vicinity of a university with research capacity in the field of Life Sciences;
- Within five years of start-up the incubator must be financially independent;
- The incubator must, in principle, continue to operate for a minimum of ten years.

could be, judging from the rest of the list (universities..) but only if you think it is ideas we are incubating here, rather than life forms.
