Abstract: In recent years there hasbeenan increasing focus on universities'entrepreneurial orientation and their ability to exploit and transfer scientificknowledge to the commercial sector. Spin-off firms are recognised as an important opportunity for universities. This paper aims toexaminethe university spin-off firmcontext, with particular attention to the relationship withscience parks-incubatorsand their importance as brand names.
