| dc.description.abstract | Commercializing academic research, supporting innovation, and driving economic growth
are key factors of university spin-offs. As the significance of these ventures continues to
expand, the question arises: What is an effective way for university spin-offs to obtain
public funding in their growth strategy? This master thesis aims to address this question
by conducting a comprehensive research study that examines various approaches used by
university spin-offs to secure public funding and identifies the most impact strategies for
accelerating their growth.
Based on a diverse range of scholarly literature, case studies, and expert opinions,
this research explores the primary elements that significantly impact the process of acquiring
public funding for university spin-offs. It examines the influence of factors such
as regional/national policies, government funding programs, collaboration networks, and
entrepreneurial capabilities on effectiveness of public funding strategies. The study also
investigates the influence of timing, readiness, and alignment of spin-off objectives with
funding agencies’ priorities on funding success rates. | |
