Due to economic change and trend, SMEs encounter many difficulties and challenges; in this case, government actively promotes incubating related policies and emerging industry accelerating programs for entrepreneurs to provide resources and assistance to them. Related governmental and private organizations were set up with diverse characteristics, including incubator, accelerator, angel investment and venture capital in these years; however, the resources provided by different startup incubation organizations are all various and the resources required by entrepreneurs in different stages are also various so how to provide resource to entrepreneurs appropriately and effectively is an significant issue. Methods of this study included literary analysis and interviews. Taking literary analysis to understand current situation of startup incubation resource in Taiwan and using interview with startup incubation organizations to know the practical situations so as to provide reference for selecting an appropriate incubator organization for SMEs and provide suggestions of planning, evaluating and improving organizations and policies for related startup incubation resource organizations and government in order to build a well incubator ecology for SMEs with our own characteristics. The results found three main points; firstly, current startup incubation organizations in Taiwan are incubations and are university incubation centers.
