Encouraging entrepreneurships is one of the important policies. The Council of Cultural Affairs under Executive Yuan enacted “Grants for Arts and Cultural Industry Innovation Incubation Centers” in 2008, encouraging academic institutions and professional organizations to set up and support incubators which focus on the development of cultural and creative industries. However, how should we foster the development of cultural and creative industries? The research attempts to propose an assumption which argues that “empowerment” is an approach to structure the cultural and creative industry incubation model. This paper has selected “KD Art Culture Industry Innovation Incubation Center”(KD Arts) for case study. Data for research was collected through interviewing stakeholders. After looking into its incubation model and tenants’ residence, this paper consolidates and reaches the following conclusion: The core incubation value of KD Arts can be put as “guardianship.” The majority main candidates for incubation are mainly those which fit the micro-entrepreneurship profile. There are three tiers of its incubation model: education, incubation, and joint operation platform. The research finds that the operation system which centers on “guardianship” works perfectly with the incubation model structure through “empowerment.” This approach not only satisfies the needs of entrepreneurs but also contributes practically to the development of the industries. It is also found that the cultural and creative industries incubation model deployed by KD Arts is an adjusted fostering approach which seeks to meet the needs of micro-entrepreneurs. It does not performs totally the original nature of a incubation center. Result of this research can serve as reference material for the government and other incubators when they plan or go into execution. Entrepreneurs who are interested in residence in incubators can also evaluate the opportunity with the result of the research.
