2018 - Franco Angeli

73-94 p.

Moreover, the impact on the socio-economic context of the actions promoting the university spin-offs innovation is only partially real and positive. Anyway, from the standpoint of the evidence gathered, the
  • spin-off companies play a more significant role for an innovative environmental development than the role played by the territorial context in the growth of the spin-offs. [Publishers' text].
