The Scandinavian country of Sweden is a huge facilitator of startups through

its’ large network of incubators where Born Global residents are becoming a

more frequent sight. The Born Global firm is a novel type of company that

contradicts the traditional means of internationalization. In order to realize

startup potential, the obtainment of resources of varying amounts and scope is

essential. But for a Born Global startup, achievement of its internationalization

prospects requires making use of a unique set of resources that facilitate and

enables the fulfillment of such global capabilities. The purpose of this paper is

to identify the resources that are crucial for a Born Global in an

internationalization context and whether or not Swedish incubators can

provide these crucial resources to Born Globals. The analysis is based on the

findings from semi-structured interviews with members from 3 Incubators and

4 Born Global companies in the incubation process within their respective

incubators. Using a comparative study, alignments and gaps have been

identified between what incubators have provided and what Born Globals

consider crucial for internationalization. The conclusion of this study leads to

an addition to the theory of the Incubator Best Practice Model, elaborated by

Bergek and Norrman where the facilitation of the unique resources required

by Born Global companies is emphasized. Additionally, the authors provide

suggestions on managerial implementations for Born Global managers. These

suggestions concern thorough assessments of their individual resource needs,

and policy recommendations to incubators about the facilitation of the specific

resources required for a Born Global and its effort to internationalize.
