Entrepreneurial Universities as Drivers of Innovation: From Technology Transfer to Broader Impact

Academic entrepreneurship, and especially academic spin-offs, remains a prominent mechanism through which scientific knowledge is translated into market and societal value (Shane & Stuart, 2002; Heirman & Clarysse, 2004). Alongside spin-offs, universities increasingly contribute to student entrepreneurship, defined as the entrepreneurial action and venture creation initiated and led by enrolled students, including innovative startups and opportunity-driven projects that leverage university resources (Bergmann et al., 2016; Morris et al., 2017). Through these mechanisms, universities shape mindsets and capabilities that encourage innovation-oriented behavior and a broader diffusion of an entrepreneurial culture across regions.

Beyond Growth: Entrepreneurial Ecosystems in Transition toward Sustainable Regional Futures

The discussion addresses the complexities of ecosystem coordination, including leadership for systemic change, governance structures, and alternative approaches such as the circular economy and industrial symbiosis.
