Objective:

This project aims at achieving the following two main objectives:

1. Providing new evidence on the role of public research institutions in fostering innovative entrepreneurship; and,
2. Providing new evidence on the role of national policies and framework conditions in catalysing the translation of scientific knowledge into innovative entrepreneurship.

The OECD will use innovative data sources and statistical techniques to provide an unprecedented portrait of innovative start-ups and VC investments across countries and sectors (Breschi, Lassébie, and Menon, 2018). Building on previous work, as well on additional data sources on e.g. intellectual property (IP) rights and on national policies (e.g. from the STIP Compass database), the OECD is distinctively positioned to deliver on the two main objectives of the project illustrated below.
