An Assessment of Science and Technology Parks (Classic Reprint): Towards a Better Understanding of Their Role in the Emergence of New Technologies: ... of New Technologies (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Uncover how science parks fit into today’s tech world and why their impact is still debated. This concise, evidence-based study examines science and technology parks as a mechanism for technology transfer, drawing on Belgian and Dutch data to test what actually happens when universities, firms, and public bodies collaborate.
Two clear aims guide the work: explain the benefits and challenges of science parks as technology transfer hubs, and propose a broader framework for understanding how new technologies emerge. The book weighs optimistic promises against sceptical evidence and highlights the central role of professional communities and networks.
- Provides empirical findings from Belgian and Dutch science parks on tenant companies, spin-offs, and linkages to universities.
- Explores how proximity, collaboration, and access to talent influence a park’s effectiveness.
- Discusses competing mechanisms for technology transfer beyond parks, such as research consortia and joint ventures.
- Offers a balanced view on policy implications for regional development and innovation strategies.
Ideal for readers of technology policy, regional development, and innovation studies seeking a grounded look at how science parks contribute to or complicate the emergence of new technologies.
