10th July 2018, 6 pm CEST Time
Objective of the Webinar
The webinar will focus on the structures and working methods of Innovation Accelerators and High-Tech campuses. As global competition is harsher than ever, young companies and start-ups need increasingly guidance over a complex web of issues facing their new ventures: from pitching to prospective investors, to facing challenges on intellectual property and human resources, albeit competing for a place in the global innovation arena. Accelerators and High-Tech Campuses, whether public or privately driven, provide a new way to informing, training and harnessing the innovative young companies, preparing them for the global markets. The webinar will offer a comprehensive picture on these new structures and offer an appreciation on their potential from a Triple Helix view (interactions around university, industry – in the broader possible sense – and government – all types).
Expected outcomes
At the end of the Webinar, participants should be able to grasp the main components of Accelerators and High-Tech Campuses as constituents of the innovation ecosystems. A critical appraisal over their embeddedness in the overall innovation architecture would be helpful as well as their relative weight in the overall effort on innovation investment and the Triple Helix perspective.
Target audience
Traditional Triple Helix members – predominantly academics and innovation consultants, specialising in innovation systems, knowledge transfer, university-industry collaboration, science parks and incubators, and other topics related to the Triple Helix model.
