About the Book

Providing a global survey of public policies and programs for building national and regional ecosystems of science and technology based entrepreneurial development, this book provides a unique analysis of the advances, over the last several decades and in light of the experiential knowledge gained in various parts of the world, in the understanding of innovation systems in the pursuit of developing these economies. Presenting nineteen case studies of diverse developed and emerging economy nations and their regions, more than thirty expert authors describe an array of policy and program mechanisms that have been implemented over the years. The in-depth analysis of the worldwide efforts featured in this volume provide the reader with several valuable lessons. There are clear indications of a trend toward better cohesion and coordination of national efforts to improve innovation but also a trend toward the broadening of regional agendas to address technology, talent, capital, innovation infrastructure and entrepreneurship culture issues - considered essential for knowledge based entrepreneurial growth. The book also offers a unique treatment of grassroots level programmatic aspects of these efforts, including some novel entrepreneurial mechanisms employed for policy implementation. The book's blend of theory and practice provides valuable insights to the reader, particularly government, academic and private sector policy makers and scholars researching or involved directly with efforts to build and support the development of science and technology based entrepreneurial regions.

Review :
‘Science and Technology Based Regional Entrepreneurship comprises a broad range of papers that provide a detailed overview of the development and state of regional science and technology (S&T) entrepreneurial activity. The book is of particular interest for policy practitioners as it aims to facilitate the development of policy and programme mechanisms for S&T. It provides readers with an insight into some of the best and most effective practices in stimulating regional entrepreneurial activity, new venture creation, and more generally, potential for generating future economic growth. . . This book provides a good overview of the diverse ways in which S&T entrepreneurial activity is encouraged in different environments. As a result, it provides a good one-stop shop for academics and practitioners alike who want to gain a quick overview of and insight into S&T activity across the world.’
