    "content": "(d) deleting the definition of “incubator” and substituting therefor the following definition — “incubator” means a company, partnership, non-governmental organization, an establishment within an institution of higher learning or a formal or informal sector business association whose principal object is to support the birthing and development of start-ups, innovation, and other activities related to the transfer of skills, research, development, and innovation processes, through the offer of dedicated physical or virtual spaces and advisory services and has been labelled as such under this Act; (e) deleting the definition of “start-up incubator”. The justification is that the new definitions provide the meaning for various terms that will be used in the Bill. The amendment of the term “Cabinet Secretary” is to clarify that since start-ups are Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), the law will be implemented by the Cabinet Secretary responsible for the MSMEs. The deletion of the definition of “County Executive Committee Member” is to align with the proposed amendments in the Bill given that the law will be implemented by the National Government in collaboration with other start-up ecosystem players, including the county governments. That deletion of the definition “start-up incubator” is for the clean-up of the Bill because it is similar to the definition of ‘incubator’ that is already defined."
