Zusammenfassung

Vergleicht man akademische Spinoff-Gründungen mit anderen forschungs- und wissensintensiven Gründungen, zeigt sich, dass Spinoff-Gründungen signifikant forschungs- und wissenschaftsorientierter sind. Dies drückt sich in höherer Forschungsintensität, höherer Patentierneigung und intensiveren Kontakten zur Wissenschaft aus. Spinoff-Gründungen besetzen ein besonders forschungsintensives Segment innerhalb der forschungs- und wissensintensiven Branchen und stellen eine Verbindung zwischen Wissenschaft und Markt her. In diesemPapier wird für Österreich untersucht, ob sich die Performance von Spinoff-Gründungen von der anderer Gründungen in den forschungs- und wissensintensiven Wirtschaftszweigen unterscheidet. Ökonometrische Modellrechnungen zeigen, dass Spinoff-Gründungen hinsichtlich Umsatz- und Beschäftigungswachstum nicht erfolgreicher sind als andere Gründungen in den forschungs- und wissensintensiven Branchen.

Abstract

When academic spin-offs are compared with other research- and knowledge-intensive start-ups, it is apparent that spin-offs are significantly more research- and knowledge-oriented than other start-ups. This fact becomes evident in higher research intensity, higher inclination to patenting and more intensive contacts to science. Spin-offs fill a particularly research-intensive segment within the research- and knowledge-intensive sectors and establish a connection between science and market. In this paper, for Austria, it is investigated if the performance of spin-offs differs form that of other research- and knowledge-intensive start-ups. Econometric model calculations show that spin-offs are as for turnover and employment growth not more successful than other start-ups in the research- and knowledge-intensive sector.
