Abstract
The role of national laboratories as incubator organizations, and as agents for regional development strategies, is examined using examples from the UK, France and Belgium, including atomic energy authority laboratories in each country. In France and Belgium, some laboratories have explicit missions to assist in the formation of new firms and to support existing small and medium-sized enterprises in their localities. These functions are largely absent in the UK laboratories studied. The concept of spatial integration of labour is used to highlight the contribution of laboratories to local economic development in specific places.
