In knowledge-based economies, universities have become key elements of innovation systems both as human capital providers and as a seedbed of new businesses and academic capitalism. The emergence of the entrepreneurial university is as a response to the increasing importance of knowledge in national and regional innovation systems and the recognition that the university is a cost effective and creative inventor and transfer agent of both knowledge and technology. Governments in developed countries are focussing on the potential of the university as a source to enhance innovation environments and create a regime of science based economic development. As knowledge becomes an increasing important part of innovation, the university as a knowledge producing and dissemination institution plays a larger role in industrial innovation
