University Spin-outs: What do we know and what are the policy implications? Evidence from the UK
Main Article Content
Abstract
This letter from academia reviews the academic literature and provides an overview of the trends in spin-outs from universities in the UK. We argue that it is important to develop a more comprehensive ecosystem for academic entrepreneurship that includes a wider range of actors and mechanisms. We outline a framework of such an ecosystem and accompanying research agenda.
