Conference topics: Science and Technology Based Entrepreneurship and Enterprises
HTSF’s play important roles in many innovative fields, such life sciences (bio-technology), renewable and sustainable energy technology, micro-systems technology and environmental technology. These firms are often part of a heterogeneous network, co-operating with large firms, more traditional SME’s and other HTSF’s, (university) research institutes, and government (agencies). For this year’s conference we are especially interested in:
o Entrepreneurship embedded in science and technology;
o “Triple Helix” cooperation
o Valorisation and commercialization of research and the role of HTSF
o Science and Technology-based entrepreneurship and its implications for education, and policy
We also welcome papers on the roles of support instruments, entrepreneurship strategy, entrepreneurship support, marketing, financing, organisation and networking of high-tech small firms, heterogeneous networks, global entrepreneurship, funding and governmental policies.
All papers presented will be considered for inclusion in the annually published “New technology-based firm in the New Millennium” book series by Emerald Publishing (http://www.emeraldinsight.com/books.htm?issn=1876-0228).
