Innovation, Transition and Economic Development: The Innovation Ecosystem and Space Start-ups, Spin-offs and Business Diversification

Never before has economic development been driven to such an extent by scientific research and technological innovation, bringing about rapid and disruptive changes as we transition from the current reality to the future. To keep pace with technological and economic-business evolution, nations and complex organizations must foster and manage processes of innovation and technology transfer. The transition from basic to applied research, technology transfer pathways, and the entrepreneurial maturation and development of new business ventures require support within an innovation ecosystem structured on a public-private cooperation model—capable of providing services such as selection and guidance, mentorship, management training, fundraising, and networking.
