“…However, the research results do not confirm the dominant importance of business incubators and technology parks in the development of start-ups. In the literature and previous studies, it is assumed that these entities are established primarily to transfer the latest knowledge to business and to support entrepreneurs in the process of starting a business [83,84,[86][87][88][89][90]. In the obtained ranking of determinants, they should play a more important role than shown, as their establishment was supposed to cede some of the local and regional responsibilities to institutions specialized in supporting entrepreneurship.…”

“…Therefore, the city can decide on the development of entrepreneurship indirectly by creating the most favorable conditions for the establishment of business and life of residents. It can also take action to directly strengthen economic initiatives by providing organizational and financial support [86,87]. Operations in this area form the second group of determinants of urban life and entrepreneurship development.…”

The development of start-ups is a driving force of the local and regional economy. Therefore, it should be in the interest of municipal authorities to take actions for their organizational and resource support. In the conditions of limited public resources, however, it is a difficult and multifaceted task. Therefore, in this article, the authors attempt to determine the influence of local conditions on the establishment of start-ups. As a natural environment for the development of this type of entrepreneurship, cities were considered in which accessibility to infrastructure and human resources is high, and thus, by definition, conducive to creativity and innovation. Such a formulations of the objective and scope of the research allowed the existing theoretical and research gaps to be filled, relating to the identification and establishment of a hierarchy of local determinants of creating start-ups in the urban environment. The research in question was carried out on a representative sample of 287 Polish cities using questionnaire techniques and structural modelling. The results confirm the dominant influence of human and financial capital on the establishment of start-ups. The research also shows a slightly less significant influence of business incubators and technology parks on the creation of start-ups, which implies the need to improve the performance of these entities. The results also point to the positive role of direct city involvement in the development of this form of entrepreneurship.

“…Fifth, many papers investigate the role played by STPs in the national and/or regional economy, focusing on several aspects. These includes the role of STPs in fostering indigenous innovation capacities strategy and increasing regional technology growth and competitiveness (Olcay & Bulu, 2016;Zeng et al, 2011;Zhang & Wu, 2012), in encouraging technological entrepreneurship (Yu et al, 2009), in playing a bridging role and facilitating knowledge transfer among various actors (Albahari et al, 2019;Balle et al, 2019;Benneworth & Ratinho, 2014;Link & Scott, 2007;Meseguer-Martinez et al, 2020;Steruska et al, 2019;Walcott, 2002;Wicaksono & Ririh, 2021), especially with universities (Aportela-Rodriguez & Pacios, 2017; Gan et al, 2021;Löfsten et al, 2020;Phongthiya et al, 2021), in fostering open innovation (Silva et al, 2020), in modernizing a country's economy and innovation system (Chen et al, 2013;Phelps & Dawood, 2014) and in financing technology (Scandizzo, 2005). When debating the effect of STPs in regional economies, particularly interesting is the case of structurally underdeveloped (del Castillo Hermosa & Barroeta, 1998;Grasland, 1992) and rural (Goldstein & Luger, 1992) regions.…”

The effect of science and technology parks on tenant firms: a literature review

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Science and technology parks (STPs) are non-spontaneous agglomerations aimed at encouraging the formation and growth of on-site technology and knowledge-based firms. STPs have diffused worldwide, attracting significant, and often public, investment. However, there are contrasting evidence and insights on the effectiveness of these local development, technology and innovation policy tools. This paper provides a comprehensive and systematic review of the STP literature (221 papers, 1987–2021), focusing especially on quantitative papers aimed at assessing the park effect on tenant’s performance. We perform an in-depth quantitative analyses, which allows us to go beyond the inconclusiveness reported in previous review papers, showing that the likelihood of finding positive STP effects increases considerably with sample size. We discuss the limitations of this literature and offer some suggestions for future research.

The increasingly entrepreneurial intent of universities implies the commercialization of knowledge and innovation through the triple helix of interactions between universities, industry and government. However, there remains a lack of clarity concerning best practice partnerships for innovation. This systematic literature review (SLR) provides insights onto the development of partnerships at the university–industry–government nexus and builds on the existing top-down/bottom-up approach for the creation of intermediaries of innovation. The SLR describes the evolution of these intermediaries, which is driven both by criteria set by partners and the globalization of the knowledge economy. This SLR reveals that the partnership structure most likely to further economic and broader societal goals is the living lab with the inherent focus on open innovation and co-creation. This SLR reveals that the living lab structure (and including sustainability labs and urban living labs) is the partnership structure utilized for innovation that addresses economic, social and environmental goals. Two areas are recommended for further research. One concerns the development of a deeper understanding of the relationship between the evolution in the structures of partnerships for innovation and how it is influenced by the globalization of the economy, society and environment, and changing modes of knowledge production. The other is to better understand why the living lab approach to partnership creation is best suited to the delivery of sustainable development objectives and how this learning can be applied to other models of partnership development at the university–industry–government nexus.
