Abstract

This chapter suggests that the success of selected science parks, innovation clusters, incubators, etc., is due in large part to the regions in which they are embedded. The chapter also discusses processes of Knowledge/Technology Transfer (KTT) to commercial use at the level of the firm and start-ups as well as some ideas on forming and sustaining global networks for sharing knowledge among developed, developing, and emerging regions worldwide.
