Commercializing Academic Research Results and the Role of Spin-off Companies.
The commercialization of academic research results is often difficult and requires a flexible approach that depends on the nature of the project. Most technologies are very early-stage and often not mature enough for industry partners or financial investors. Spin-off companies play an important role in this process. Through their activities universities make an important contribution to the innovation capacity of industry.
