Objective
University of Twente (UT) is profiling itself as the entrepreneurial University. From early 80's there is an active support of entrepreneurship for graduates entering the entrepreneurial path; start-up companies using UT-knowledge; and innovating regional, national and international operating companies (small and large) operating in networks. To guide research in this area we offer coaching and training to (Ph-D) students in a setting in which this broad view on high tech entrepreneurship in networks can be studied in theory and in practice. In the Dutch Institute for Knowledge Intensive Entrepreneurship we combine in a synergetic way four functions: research, teaching, consulting and training, and business development support. The mission is to combine thorough academic work with practical relevant work on entrepreneurship in network perspective. The academic research programme is leading in determining the scope of the work being done in the institute, but practical relevant projects add to the research by offering opportunities to gather empirical data. Our academic teaching programs are offered to university students as well as to practioners and researchers. Student enterprises and networks between students and entrepreneurs are stimulated. Entrepreneurial spin offs of academic research are encouraged, as University industry interaction is one of the main mechanisms for high tech entrepreneurship. The Dutch Institute for Knowledge Intensive Entrepreneurship offers fellowships to researchers interested in knowledge intensive entrepreneurship in networks. In our research we look at micro interaction patterns in networks of entrepreneurs and other actors leading to innovation and consequently change in economic structure on micro-meso and macro level.
Our special interests in this field are:
- Development of (starting) knowledge intensive enterprises (role of : entrepreneur, networks, cooperation, technology)
- Entrepreneurial processes in context of technological innovation (role networks, alliances, market orientation R & D, technology development)
- University-industry-interaction in context of academic entrepreneurship (commercialization of knowledge, technology development, networks and co-operation)
- Theories in use are entrepreneurship theory, network theory, social system theory, and innovation theory. Basic assumptions we work on are characterized by process approach and embeddedness of actors.
