The fundamental role of (a company) as ##INCUBADORA## in this project was highlighted by Mr XXX.

The original sentence is:##El Sr. XXX destacó el papel fundamental de (una empresa) como incubadora en este proyecto##

A project can be "incubated" in English?
Thanks.

to incubate a project
Explanation:
I think so -

For both types of industries just described, our model implies that a
mature ¯rm tends to abandon a project earlier than a young ¯rm. This is
because a mature firm chooses not to develop the incubated project if the
project's type does not match the firm's capability, whereas a young firm
cannot apply such an abandonment criterion not knowing its own capability.

incubator/incubation company


Explanation:
Based on the given context, I don't think they are talking about incubating a project.

What I understand is that for this specific project, "an incubator company" is necessary.

I would say something like:

The fundamental role of (a company) as ##an incubator company## for this project was highlighted/emphasized by Mr XXX.

I may be wrong but that is what I understood.
Maybe a little more context would help.

Suerte.
