“…Firstly, multiple external and internal factors have been identified as able to favour (or limit) university TT development in Italy. These factors range from environmental/institutional (e.g., the dynamics of demand for innovation, technological progress and policies) [57,58], to industrial (e.g., industrial sector life cycle and related dimension, the dynamics of competition) [58], and academic levels (e.g., entrepreneurial attitude, skills and individual characteristics) [59,60]. In particular, the phenomenon emerged in the 1970s and mid 1980s as occasional attempts of pioneer researchers taken without the support of their universities and has intensified since 2000 following some specific national laws on university entrepreneurship, ownership of university patents, and autonomy of single universities [61].…”

Industry is continuously evolving, reflecting changes in society. An important aspect of this evolution concerns how new digital technologies are used and their effects on innovation and sustainability. Thus, the relationship between university, industry, and government grows stronger, shifting the focus on technology transfer processes from university to industry, at local and national levels. To increase our understanding of how these processes take place, more theoretical and empirical research is required. This paper aims to respond to this call by examining the university technology transfer through a co-evolutionary approach. The study analyses the dynamics of the relationships at different organisational levels within universities able to create sustainability-oriented innovative university spin-offs and start-ups, through the Italian National Innovation Award case. The findings show that the creation of these spin-offs and start-ups are the result of effective multi-level co-evolutionary adaptations within universities, and among university, industry and government. The article contributes to the further understanding of the management of technology transfer by combining some elements from the literature about the co-evolution of social organisations and their environment with some elements from the Triple Helix model of innovation. Moreover, both theoretical and managerial implications emerge, together with suggestions for future research.

“…The Sicilian region is, indeed, characterized by the presence of heterogeneous actors (e.g. universities, private firms, government agencies and technology centers) that synergically contribute to the development of the regional innovation capabilities (Bosco, 2007). Moreover, these heterogeneous actors strongly take advantages from the high geographical proximity with other regional partners establishing collaborative relationships that enhance the innovation capabilities (Abramo et al, 2012).…”

NETWORK POSITIONS AND INNOVATION CAPABILITIES IN THE REGIONAL INNOVATION NETWORKThis paper investigates the positioning of actors characterized by different natures in a regional innovation network and explores how these actors improve their innovation capabilities by assuming prominence or brokering positions. Innovation capability is widely seen to be the driving force in building regional competitive advantage, therefore investigating how the positioning of actors improves their innovation-related activities is relevant in terms of regional competitiveness. This paper builds on a survey conducted on the Sicilian regional area in Italy.A questionnaire was used to collect data concerning the relationships established between actors and the extent to which these relationships impact actors' innovation capability. Results suggest that regional actors cannot be considered as a homogeneous group regarding their positioning in a regional network and that the innovation benefits of assuming different network positions depend on their nature. This paper offers some theoretical implications to the literature on regional innovation network and practical suggestions to organizations and regional policy makers.

“…Past academic studies have shown that whether technology transfer can bring positive innovation effects to the region is still controversial. Generally speaking, intra‐regional and inter‐regional innovation networks can both promote regional innovation efficiency (Fan et al., 2020), and technology transfer can help to improve regional innovation ability (Bosco, 2007). For example, China introduced a large number of technologies from developed countries in the early stage of reform and opening up, which was of great significance to China with backward technology at that time, and made a great contribution to promoting China's level of technological innovation (Wang & Zhou, 1999; Zhang & Taylor, 2001).…”

Reducing carbon emissions is the only way to solve the global climate problem, which obviously requires the joint efforts of all regions. From the perspective of carbon emission reduction demand, this research obtains the data of low-carbon patents and CO 2 emissions from 2000 to 2019, and then explores the innovation effect of low-carbon technology transfer in the Yangtze River Economic Belt (YREB). We draw the following conclusions: (1) Low-carbon technology transfer has a positive impact on low-carbon technology innovation. However, a large number of low-carbon technology transfers are concentrated between developed regions in the YREB at present. (2) No matter from the perspective of total amount or efficiency, carbon emission reduction demand can play positive moderating role in the process of exerting the innovation effect of low-carbon technology transfer, indicating that the transfer of low-carbon technologies to regions with high demand is efficient. (3) The moderating effect of carbon emission reduction demand in different regions has regional heterogeneity. Carbon emissions per unit of GDP plays a greater role in moderating the innovation effect of low-carbon technology transfer in the eastern region, while CO 2 emissions plays a greater role in
