“…Table 5 shows that environmental institutes practically did not generate patent applications, which results from the specificity of their activities, which are dominated by environmental measurements and assessments that do not directly contribute to the creation of inventions that can be patent protected. Among energy institutes, the most patents in relative terms in the period of 2014-2019 generated by EN1 (82). After 2016, the number of reports submitted by this institute clearly increased, which proves the intensive efforts to adapt to the changed legal and evaluation regulations.…”

“…Public finances, especially in developing economies, have limited sufficiency, which was and is a significant barrier to the creation of innovation [28][29][30]. This imbalance of commercial and state potential can also seriously limit the sharing of knowledge and technology [80][81][82][83][84][85] and inhibit the development of open innovation useful for the development of local and regional communities [31][32][33][34][35][36][37]. For this reason, the recommendation would be to raise awareness of the role of sharing intellectual resources through selected elements of innovation policy and the national innovation system, especially since such a policy-according to the literature-promotes social and economic development [11,12].…”

“…The effectiveness and efficiency of the innovation system depends on many internal and external conditions [81]. The key one is access to knowledge and technologies and their level of advancement [82,83]. The economic situation, including the availability of financial resources and the competitiveness of the economy, is also not without significance.…”

Transfer and diffusion of knowledge and technology is a key condition for the development of innovation. In practice, they take place at the interface between science and business, which makes the level of innovation and development of a given economy depend on the effectiveness and efficiency of universities and other scientific units co-creating the national innovation network. With this important circumstance in mind, this article presents an assessment of the operations of selected research institutes in Poland in 2014–2019 in the context of pro-efficiency statutory changes aimed at making the commercialization of research and development results more effective. The multiple case study used in the article includes five units operating in the field of environmental protection (two) and energy (three)—sectors relevant to the transformation of the national energy sector. The research analyzes the sources of funding of the institutes’ operations, their profitability and the financial effectiveness of their scientific and research staff. The results of the research indicate the adaptability of the surveyed institutes to the new rules of financing and the possibility of their wider than previously opening to business relations, as well as at least partial independence from budget financing. This is a valuable observation from the perspective of shaping innovation policy and the principles of operation of the national innovation system in developing economies.

“…Muitas mudanças tecnológicas foram resultado de avanços recíprocos entre certas disciplinas científicas e diferentes técnicas (Bourguinat, 1999). No entanto, nos últimos tempos praticamente todas as tecnologias de relevante impacto competitivo apresentaram fortes ligações com os campos da ciência, afirmando a força das descobertas científicas como uma propriedade financeiramente valiosa (Nelson, 2004), contribuindo para formações de vínculos interorganizacionais entre academia e setor produtivo (Sousa-Ginel et al, 2021).…”

A presente pesquisa destaca o desenvolvimento de uma nova tecnologia como expressão de mudança de paradigma tecnológico estabelecido por uma spin-off acadêmica vinculada a uma universidade pública brasileira, de maneira a analisar a estrutura funcional do sistema nacional de inovação. O objetivo da investigação foi identificar componentes, interações e funções que configuraram a infraestrutura institucional que caracterizou as condições sob as quais a spin-off se desenvolveu, de forma a viabilizar o desenvolvimento da nova tecnologia. O estudo constituiu-se sob a abordagem qualitativa, operacionalizado através de entrevistas semiestruturadas, tratadas baseado em análise de conteúdo. Verificou-se a articulação de diferentes atores e competências para viabilizar o desenvolvimento e transferência tecnológica universitária para o mercado. Entre tais atores, identificou-se a articulação de cinco domínios principais: Universidade, Agências de fomento, Atores políticos, Facilitadores e Mercado. Sendo determinadas funções, as de Regulamentação, Suporte, Infraestrutura, Financiamento e Comercialização, manifestadas como chaves para a geração da inovação.

“…Nesse sentido, instituições de ciência, tecnologia e inovação (universidades, escritórios de transferência de tecnologia, institutos de P&D, parques científicos e incubadoras) são elementos que influenciam a criação de empresas de base tecnológica (Buenstorf & Costa, 2018;Fuster et al, 2019;Sousa-Ginel et al, 2021;Xie et al, 2018), fornecendo recursos humanos, financeiros e apoio administrativo (Huynh et al, 2017;Steruska et al, 2019).…”

Purpose: our objective is to assess whether the Global Entrepreneurship Index (GEI) is a valid methodology for measuring the national systems of entrepreneurship. Theoretical framework: we use the structural equation modeling (SEM) as a theoretical lens to evaluate the Global Entrepreneurship Index. Design/methodology/approach: to achieve the research objective, we perform structural equation modeling to measure the formative model of GEI, using the SmartPLS 3.0 software, in order to verify the convergent validity of the constructs; the collinearity of indicators and their relevance for measuring entrepreneurship. Findings: the results obtained show that the sub-indices and indicators are adequate to measure entrepreneurship. However, we identified that there is a need to replace the micro-level components of the opportunity perception and networking indicators which provide distorted results of what is understood as productive or high impact entrepreneurship. Research, practical and social implications: the main contributions of our study are directed to the indicators’ developers. We suggest the use of components that capture aspects associated with high-impact or technology-based entrepreneurship instead of any attempt to create a new business, as our results indicate that generic components provide short-sighted results on the state of entrepreneurship, hampering comparative studies at the country-level. Originality/value: although the GEI is based on the OECD recommendations for the construction of composite indicators (indices), we have not identified any studies (not even performed by the GEI developers) on the validity of the index as a methodology for measuring entrepreneurship.
