It has been estimated that about 80 percent of world economic growth is created by SME's, but despite their significance, SMEs are faced with the threat of failure as well as success with past statistics indicating that three out five fail within the first few months.
This research aims to identify and prioritize the main critical success factors affecting the Incubated Information and Communications Technology (ICT) SME's in Gaza, such factors were widely investigated through previous studies and a set of experts and managers were carefully selected to eventually choose 8 main criteria which are Human Resources, Entrepreneurs‘ characteristics, Financials, Products/Service Characteristics, Marketing, Incubators Roles, Environmental Conditions and Organization Characteristics with 23 associated sub-criteria has been suggested.
The AHP tool was applied with the help of Expert Choice Software to achieve the goal, Results show that for the main factors ranking; Entrepreneurs‘ characteristics comes first with 20.9% then the Marketing factor with 19.1%, while in the sub-criteria level, Marketing and Experience get the top two ranks with 11.23% and 9.86% respectively, then, the results were modified by increasing 10% for each main criteria and then the ranks were reconsidered again.
