“…Rijk Zwaan, Enza Seeds) formed the core of the collaboration with Keygene. Its success has attracted other foreign companies that became shareholder of Keygene more recently (Vilmorin & Cie, France; Takii, Japan) [5]. All four companies belong to the world top ten vegetable breeding companies (Figure 4), and in our interviews the senior managers of these breeding companies indicated that Keygene was recognized as their most important partner in innovation, and expressed their satisfaction with its achievements.…”

“…This agricultural knowledge system was internationally recognized and became a model for other countries. The system was known as the REE-tryptich which stands for the integration of Research, Education and Extension (in Dutch: OVO for Onderzoek, Voorlichting, Onderwijs) [5]. This organization has changed and consolidated dramatically over the past twenty years.…”

“…In the past, the classic flow of knowledge started with fundamental research at the university via strategic and applied research at governmental research institutes and experimental stations, to practical implementation via agricultural extension system following the REE tryptich system mentioned before [5]. Nowadays, the Dutch agricultural research & education domain has changed from this classical knowledge transfer model towards new concepts of co-innovation, where government, the public sector and the private sector work in close collaboration to create innovations (the so-called Golden Triangle).…”

“…This makes the Netherlands both the largest vegetable seed exporting as well as importing country. [5][6][7][8]. Generally speaking, the development of new products and processes is not only based on the creativity of the individual researcher, entrepreneur, company or research institute, but rather the result of interaction and co-operation within a much larger system [9].…”

Keywords: sectoral innovation system cluster public-private partnerships Dutch vegetable breeding industry a b s t r a c t In a number of studies, the Dutch vegetable breeding industry has been described as a highly innovative sector, but the root causes for its innovativeness have not yet been analysed systematically. In order to understand the factors that affect innovation and business performance, the Sectoral Innovation System (SIS) framework was used to analyse the linkages and interactions among the different actors in the Dutch vegetable breeding industry. Within SIS, five interacting domains are recognized and analysed: the business domain, the research & education domain, the intermediate organizations, the market demand, and the infrastructure & framework conditions, resulting in an integrated picture of the innovation system. It was found that the business domain, the research & education domain and the intermediate organisations do not only show an outstanding individual performance, but more importantly, they closely collaborate via public-private partnerships (PPP), research consortia, etc. It is shown that especially the cluster characteristics of the Dutch vegetable breeding industry, i.e. the geographical proximity and the high level of intra-and interconnectivity within and between domains, induces an intensive knowledge flow, a key indicator for the innovation level of a sector.

University-industry relations (UIR) are usually analysed by the knowledge transfer channels, but existing studies have failed to address what knowledge content is being transferredimpacting the technology output aimed by the partnership. We aim to identify the Knowledge Flow in UIR, defined by the actor responsible for initiating a partnershipdirection of the flowand the type of technology output being transferredcontent of the flow. We compare the knowledge flow in innovation systems of agriculture and aerospace sectors in Brazil and the Netherlands. The cases show that the knowledge flow is influenced more by the maturity of the national and sectoral innovation system than by the technological trajectory of the sector itself. While the Dutch cases demonstrate that both sectors are part of a mature innovation system, the Brazilian cases, although expected to have a similar technological trajectory, demonstrated a more immature innovation system.
