Project description
How start-ups can get a head start on commercialising public research
Public research is the source of many of today’s technologies. As such, a wide range of policies to commercialise innovative ideas and technologies stemming from public research institutions have been adopted by OECD countries. However, the ability of entrepreneurs to commercialise public research varies. In this context, the EU-funded KNOWINN project will explore the conditions that start-ups need to thrive especially in the fields of biotechnology and robotics. Specifically, the project will study the role of public research institutions in fostering innovative entrepreneurship. It will also provide new evidence on the role of national policies and framework conditions in catalysing the translation of scientific knowledge into innovative entrepreneurship.
Objective
This project aims at achieving the following two main objectives:
1. Providing new evidence on the role of public research institutions in fostering innovative entrepreneurship; and,
2. Providing new evidence on the role of national policies and framework conditions in catalysing the translation of scientific knowledge into innovative entrepreneurship.
The OECD will use innovative data sources and statistical techniques to provide an unprecedented portrait of innovative start-ups and VC investments across countries and sectors (Breschi, Lassébie, and Menon, 2018). Building on previous work, as well on additional data sources on e.g. intellectual property (IP) rights and on national policies (e.g. from the STIP Compass database), the OECD is distinctively positioned to deliver on the two main objectives of the project illustrated below.
