Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Entrepreneurship has always been a strong driver of economic development and job creation, also leading to important contributions to address societal challenges and people’s wellbeing. As we now move further and further toward knowledge-based, data-intensive, and digital societies, science-based entrepreneurship deserves special attention, due to its specificities and high impacts. Most unicorns generated in the past decade have a strong digital backbone, based on new science and technology, and the new generations of RNA-based vaccines are saving lives in the current COVID-19 pandemic as a result also of partnerships made with leading science-based startups.
In this Special Issue, dedicated to “New Challenges in Science-Based Entrepreneurship”, we will be accepting papers related to this increasingly important area of Entrepreneurship, specifically to any of the following topics under the specific scope of science-based entrepreneurship (SBE), and covering both new theoretical concepts as well as case studies, practical examples or good practices, with possible authors coming from universities, companies, startups, researchers, incubators or accelerators, entrepreneurs, founders, funding entities or experts (e.g., industrial property, design thinking, lean startup, digital transformation):
- Frameworks and conceptual models for SBE
- Science and technology assessment and maturity for SBE
- Roles of universities and researchers in SBE
- SBE teaching and training
- SBE bottlenecks and good practices
- Intellectual property management in SBE
- SBE funding opportunities and players
- Life sciences SBE
- Digital and data-driven SBE
- SBE empirical and theoretical studies
- SBE case studies
- Marketing, strategy, and teams for SBE
- SBE business models and scaling
- SBE incubators and accelerators
- SBE ecosystems
