Abstract

Entrepreneurship and innovation are engines of economic growth and societal progress (Allen 2009; Wennekers and Thurik 1999). In particular, technology-based entrepreneurship has gained relevance as a driver of economic development and the renewal of regions and territories (Phan and Der Foo 2004; Venkataraman 2004). Its potential lies in the transformation of technology-grounded ideas into artefacts and technology applications with market value (Kirzner 1997; Venkataraman and Sarasvathy 2001).
