The Territorial Development of Innovation Support Assets through University-Business Interactions: Towards a Dynamic Model

Abstract

We live in an age when learning, innovación and knowledge have become key drivers of economic development, and the institutions associated with promoting those attributes are regarded as vital to ensuring sustainable economic success (Robertson 1999; Cooke 2002; MacKinnon et al. 2002). This generally accepted belief is founded upon a wide range of examples of regions and economies where high levels of connectivity between universities, government laboratories, innovación agencies and firms have been associated with successful regional economic performance (Angel 1994; Storper and Salais 1997; Saxenian 2000; Wicksteed 2000). Intuitively, universities seem ideally placed to play a coordinating role within these knowledge networks, as their teaching and research activities have great potential for engendering and supporting innovación, learning and knowledge-promotion activities.
