Institutional Support and Startup Success in Oran Province, Algeria: A Field Study of Entrepreneurial Guidance and Mentoring
Abstract
Startups contribute to economic diversification and job creation through their capacity to innovate and adapt to changing economic conditions. Against the backdrop of Algeria’s policies to support startup development, this study examines how entrepreneurial support institutions contribute to startup success in Oran Province. It adopts a descriptive–analytical approach and draws on field data collected from a sample of entrepreneurs in the province.
The study situates its findings within the continued expansion of Algeria’s startup sector, particularly among privately owned ventures. The field findings highlight the role of support institutions in providing guidance, mentoring, and practical assistance as entrepreneurs turn business ideas into viable ventures. The study concludes that these services can help entrepreneurs move from idea development to business establishment and lay the groundwork for sustaining their ventures over time.
