In the United State and the adoption of technological incubation plays a key supportive role for businesses and have continued to grow in many other countries. The study aimed at investigating the relationship of technological incubation on small business performance in Ilorin, Kwara State. A survey and quantitative research method was used in the study.

There were 165 respondents out of a total number of 184 staff in the selected organizations (selected SMEs). A hypothesis was formulated, and the descriptive and inferential statistical tool was used to analyze the data. Specifically, correlation analysis was used to examine the extent of the relationship between technological incubation dimensions and organizational performance.
