Abstract In national innovation systems, universities are not only essential elements of the research infrastructure, but also main players in the field of education and further education. Their specific role in the interplay between knowledge production and market implementation of knowledge via start-ups derives from this fact. This article takes as its theme the university environment which supports and stimulates the start-up processes. It also shows the progress achieved in the German university landscape in recent years on the path towards a culture of entrepreneurship in teaching and research. This is manifested, for example, in the number of start-up chairs, the development of networks to exploit the start-up potential of universities together with regional partners, and in the numbers of spinoffs established.

This paper describes the author's involvement in the early experiences of a start-up biotechnology company created outside the university environment. In this case, two self-employed, entrepreneurial scientists with no university affiliation developed commercializable intellectual property. Falling outside the more common university technology commercialization process, there were a number of issues that were quite different from those a typical university start-up company might face, and these are illustrated. Most importantly, this case is an exemplar of how other non-university entrepreneurs might contemplate utilizing universities to further their technology commercialization objectives.

The third mission of the university has developed over the years, becoming a key aspect of university policy. The spin-offs are increasingly prosperous and innovative. Over the last decade University spin-offs in Italy have developed, but there are many difficulties that hinder the creation and success of such initiatives. A recent regulatory intervention, however, has created the conditions to overcome these difficulties by introducing the theme of innovative start-ups. Through the analysis of this issue we want to emphasize if these start-ups can contribute to the optimal development of spin-offs.

PurposeThis paper aims to identify the profile of the potential entrepreneur student in what concerns the personal attributes and motivations for start‐ups' creation.Design/methodology/approachA review of literature related to the entrepreneur profile is made in order to justify the importance of the theme. Through some studies it was possible to identify a diversity of works and authors that present some aspects which contribute to the characterisation of entrepreneur individuals. The present research uses primary data obtained by means of a questionnaire, involving a sample of students, which were currently engaged in a graduation course at the University of Beira Interior. The questionnaire was administrated by interviews conducted in the classrooms of the University's faculties. The collected data were submitted to a multivariate statistical analysis.FindingsResearch findings include the existence of a typology of two distinct groups of students, respectively designated by “The accommodated independents” and “The confidents”, according to the most outstanding characteristics related with several attributes and motivations presented by each of them.Practical implicationsThe identification of the entrepreneurs' characteristics and the knowledge of the potential business creator students' profile may be important for the development of an adequate educational programme directed to the entrepreneurship education and start‐up processes.Originality/valueThe paper identifies some important characteristics that are common in entrepreneurs. The findings could be used both to promote entrepreneurship in our education systems and to identify the best practices.

Universities now see the promotion of student and graduate start-ups as a key part of their role. This has two strands: (i) incorporating entrepreneurship education into the curriculum, and (ii) activities and infrastructure to support and accelerate the start-up process. There is now a substantial literature on the design, content, delivery and impact of entrepreneurship education. In contrast, little attention has been given to these issues in the context of student business start-up programmes. This paper describes and reflects on the outcomes of an ongoing small-scale start-up programme – the Santander Summer Company Programme at the University of Glasgow and offers a number of observations on the objectives, design and evaluation of such programmes. A key conclusion is that such programmes require to be part of a broader university entrepreneurial ecosystem and embedded within the wider local, regional and national entrepreneurial ecosystems.

The European strategy is to promote new businesses as a real driver of economic growth, but also to support their growth and resilience. A typical kind of new business is the academic start-up (ASU) that can play a strategic role in their local economy. This paper aims to contribute to the lively debate about the universities policies in entrepreneurial finance. In the first part, it investigates the strengths and weaknesses of academic start-ups and the role that universities have to support them in value creation. The authors tested the research questions on a sample of start-ups of the University of Pisa. The findings show important financial and not-financial goals of academic start-ups. These goals can fuel the dialogue with entrepreneurial finance players. Furthermore, the research shows some ASUs’ vulnerabilities. In conclusion, the role of universities as new entrepreneurial players is discussed.

The didactic technology is a necessary hybridization for the training of researchers. On the one hand, the didactic provides the validated processes for the teaching and learning process of the research based on the presence, experience and expertise of the researcher; and on the other hand, technology provides online statistical tools, programs for the analysis of qualitative data, which are the essential elements that new researchers of science should have. This article reflects on the incorporation of didactic technology as a branch of knowledge to face scientific research, whose responsibility is the generation and application of knowledge from the university environment. It concludes in the need to train researchers capable of the domain of investigative and competent to operate in any part of the world.

The Relationship

Entrepreneurial start-ups have left an indelible impression on much of the USA's recent economic history. As hotbeds for technological innovation, university research laboratories create groundbreaking innovations that have been at the heart of many successful start-ups. However, powerful ideas do not necessarily beget successful companies: great ideas must be identified, acquired and developed into successful businesses using a unique blend of skills. Venture capital funds exist to perform this valuable – and lucrative – role. Some venture capitalists scour the campuses of major research universities in search of the next big idea, but the process is not as straightforward as discovering an inventor at a laboratory bench. A range of practical, personal and legal hurdles must be cleared before an idea can begin to transform into the core of a new company. With these common hurdles in mind, interviews with 94 geographically and commercially diverse venture capitalists were conducted to achieve a better understanding of the relationship between the academic and venture capital communities: what motivates the various stakeholders, which are the most pressing problems facing university–venture capital relations and what can be done to improve the process for everyone involved? While many factors influence start-up success, five main areas emerged for universities looking to improve the university–investor interface: understanding investor motivations, supporting entrepreneurs, streamlining bureaucracy, improving access and visibility and fostering a culture of innovation on campus.

The subject of this article is the inheritance of the parent university of academic spin-offs through imitation and entrepreneurial learning. Building on a capability perspective, the article adds to the literature on university spin-offs and presents insights into the academic spin-off phenomenon that may be useful in supporting academic entrepreneurship. The study is based on four universities, all located in the metropolitan area of Milan. The authors followed the start-up processes of 74 spin-off ventures over the period 2004–2013, obtaining economic data for 61 of the ventures. The analysis we carried out shows that parent universities influence the industry distribution of spin-offs, since most spin-offs showing a positive performance were concentrated in industries that (1) could benefit from the most advanced research of the parent university and (2) were those in which previous start-ups had also tended to concentrate. Thus, a focus on the parent (university)–progeny (spin-off) dyad as the unit of analysis reveals that the specific capabilities available and previous spin-off experience developed in the university play an important role in facilitating spin-off ventures and influencing new firms’ behaviour in their start-up and development phases.

Students at Jönköping University are encouraged to start their own businesses in parallel with their studies, and the university offers support as part of its encouragement. Jönköping students currently start up around 50 firms each year. These start-ups account for about 15 per cent of the new firms in the local community and they also bring other benefits to the region. Support for the student businesses is provided by the Business Lab section of Science Park Jönköping. The support system is open and student-driven: it is always available, there is no selection of ideas or people, and its direction and pace are to a large degree determined by the students themselves. In addition, the general business coaches are close to both the student and the business culture, there is no separate ‘coach culture’, and the support system is well integrated into the science park. These success factors are incorporated into a general model of the meeting between two cultures, viewed as a value-creating process that changes character over time.
