Verkenning: Naar een programmalijn Circulaire Economie vanuit het Economisch domein. De provincies Overijssel en Gelderland zetten in op het (door) ontwikkelen van de regio(*) tot een duurzaam en goed vestigingsklimaat. Dit doen zij door het ondersteunen en ontwikkelen van innovatieve bedrijven en overheden waardoor toonaangevende en impactvolle steden en regio’s ontstaan, waardoor haar concurrentiepositie binnen Nederland en Europa versterkt kan worden. Circulariteit is hierbij een belangrijk thema. Saxion ziet mogelijkheden om hieraan bij te dragen door sterk onderzoek en onderwijs op het gebied van circulaire economie. Daarbij staat de succesvolle ontwikkeling en toepassing van innovaties centraal. De complexiteit van innovaties vraagt om technologische kennis maar ook inzicht in de behoeften bij consumenten, het inspelen op nieuwe trends in de (internationale) markt, bedrijfskundige toepassingen en good governance. Om gezamenlijk met andere partijen tot vernieuwing te komen, is bundeling van onderzoek en synergie tussen economie en technologie een voorwaarde. Voor deze vernieuwing is samenwerking en synergie tussen de lectoraten uit het technisch en economisch domein belangrijk. Samengevat kan praktijkgericht onderzoek binnen de programmalijn (het zwaartepunt) circulaire economie van Saxion als volgt worden samengevat: Kennis van technologie: lectoraten uit het technisch domein Innovaties ontwikkelen en toepassen: lectoraten uit technisch en economisch domein Managen van deze innovaties: lectoraten uit het economisch domein

The university’s role in sustainable development

The role of (entrepreneurial) universities as change agents in regional economic development has been highlighted before, but how they can drive regional sustainable development in developing countries has been largely neglected hitherto. Using qualitative methods, we show how being confronted with adverse poverty and pollution in the local context, can drive a university to develop a sustainability vision that accordingly becomes the driver of institutional change. We demonstrate how local campus leadership, a holistic teaching and research program, and student involvement ensued significant local effects in the short run. Yet, we also show how liabilities of smallness hinders the creation of significant sustainable local impact. Instead, the campus became an incubation space for novel institutional practices for regional development. Indeed, the most promising initiatives were spun back into the original campus for their scale-up phase. This study advances insights on the entrepreneurial university by, first, presenting universities as drivers for sustainable change through education and outreach rather than via traditional commercialization activities, notably in developing countries. Second, it shows the risks and value of creating a separate space for novel concepts for sustainable development to be tested out before bringing these back to the principal location.

Full text via link. Interview met Lex van Teeffelen. Van Teeffelen is lector bedrijfsoverdracht en innovatie. Dat zal veel mensen niet zo aantrekkelijk in de oren klinken. Want bedrijfsoverdrachten, dat klinkt al gauw als iets ingewikkelds met veel geld en zo. Niet iets reëels voor een student. Dan ligt starten als zzp-er en langzaam verder bouwen aan een eigen bedrijf meer voor de hand. Zou je denken. Maar daar denkt Van Teeffelen dus anders over. Heel anders.

The practices of the eventful city : the case of incubate festival

The use of events as policy tools in cities has become widely recognized. However, most studies concerning this topic do not capture the complex interrelationships that underpin the development of an eventful city. This study applies a practice approach, in order to analyze the dynamics of the eventful city practice. It places the urban event practice centrally in the analysis and focuses on the actual "sayings and doings" of the practice. The event practice of the 2015 Incubate festival in Tilburg, the Netherlands, is analyzed by means of ethnographic methods, including participant observation and interviews. Incubate illustrates how both the city and the event are performed within the practice: the event shapes the city and the city shapes the event. However, the integration of the festival into alternative spaces in the city means that it does not increase the visibility of Tilburg, and therefore fails to deliver value to its eventful city policy.

The promise of coworking environments: a content analysis of the positioning of collaborative workspaces in Amsterdam

The emergence of collaborative workspaces is a remarkable feature of contemporary cities. These spaces have appeared rapidly, catering for the locational needs of self-employed workers, start-ups and small-size companies. The objective of this paper is to provide an analysis of four categories of collaborative workspaces (accelerators, incubators, coworking spaces and FabLabs). For the case of Amsterdam, we conducted a website content analysis to assess how these spaces position and present themselves towards potential users. The empirical evidence shows that these spaces promise a variety of benefits, ranging from business development to access to social networks. This diversity illustrates the emergence of distinct work settings in an economic environment characterised by the need to work in a social environment that at the same time stimulates networking and collaboration.

Final report

This report contains an analysis of the AMP1’s entrepreneurial ecosystem. It aims to assess the external perceptions about the entrepreneurial ecosystem of the Metropolitan Area of Porto and the key variables to work on. We systematically analyse the perception of Porto as entrepreneurial ecosystem in the AMP itself, based social media analysis and on interviews with entrepreneurs and other stakeholders in the Porto ecosystem. As a reference case, we also conducted a survey and interviews in Amsterdam. This helps to compare the situation in AMP with that in Amsterdam. The analysis helped to understand the current strengths and weaknesses of the AMP’s ecosystem, seen from the eyes of insiders and outsiders. In particular, we focused on two key features: internationalisation and the role of the wider region.

The Street-Wise University: The Amsterdam Knowledge Mile as an Intermediary and Place-Making Concept

Universities have become more engaged or entrepreneurial, forging deeper relations with society beyond the economic sphere. To foster, structure, and institutionalize a broader spectrum of engagement, new types of intermediary organizations are created, going beyond the “standard” technology transfer oces, incubators, and science parks. This paper conceptualizes the role of such new-style intermediaries as facilitator, enabler, and co-shaper of university–society interaction, making a distinction between the roles of facilitation, configuration, and brokering. As a case study, the paper presents the Knowledge Mile in Amsterdam as a novel form of hyper local engagement of a university with its urban surroundings that connects the challenges of companies and organisations in the street to a broad range of educational and research activities of the university, as well as to rebrand the street.

Innovation Hubs, student driven incubators in regional perspective

http://dx.doi.org/10.14261/postit/0AC5BB0E-3951-48E2-B00D49D5194985A7In 2015 and 2016, Saxion University of Applied Sciences organized the 2nd and 3rd edition of the Regional Innovation and Entrepreneurship Conference (RIEC).University Business Incubators (UBI) are being considered spatial clusters (Pont & van der Meer, 2012) in which entrepreneurship and innovation is stimulated based on academic knowledge. However, research has shown that most Business Incubators (BI’s) do not meet expectations. Therefore a new BI sub-type will be presented called the ‘Student Driven Business Incubator’ (SDBI), which is mainly managed and driven for and by students. This type of BI is based on a hybrid management approach between bottom up management by students and top down guidance by the parent organization.

Are incubators the new wonder tool for entrepreneurship education?

In the nineties of the last century, a lot of (ICT) incubators started in the Netherlands, many private (GorillaPark, Ant Factory, Lost Boys and Newconomy), some public, such as Twinning. Most of them stopped early this century or gone bankrupt. From 2005 university incubators like YesDelft!, Erasmus MC Incubator, UtrechtInc, Biopartner and ACE opened their doors to students which operate alongside the curriculum. Afterwards also incubators of colleges aroused, often integrated with education. Enterprize of the The Hague University of Applied Science was one of the first ones. In recent years, all kinds of private initiatives arises, called Accelerators (Rock Start and Start-Up Boot Camp). The primary purpose of an incubator is to create successful entrepreneurs, for different reasons. Much research has been done to the success rate of companies through incubators. It is assumed that the entrepreneur of a successful business should have learned a lot in this initial period. In the emerged entrepreneurial education it is therefore assumed that incubators also should be a good tool for students to quickly and efficiently learn. But is that so? As a successful serial entrepreneur, I started more than ten incubators. Most of them were a tool for regional development, cluster development or for further investments (private equity). Now he wanders if an incubator can also be a tool for teaching. He has been given the opportunity to researche this at the The Hague university for applied sciences; “What is the (added) value for entrepreneurship education of an incubator?” This paper is a preamble to that research and a call for participation.
