Editor's Notes
The intangible side (energy, scientific knowledge, social consensus, entrepreneurship) is as important as the material side (“hard” infrastructure, technology facilities, R&D investment).
Successful completion of a business incubation program increases the likelihood that a start-up company will stay in business for the long term: older studies found 87% of incubator graduates stayed in business, 1 in contrast to 44% of all firms. 2 tend to be large-scale projects that house everything from corporate, government or university labs to very small companies European business and innovation centre (BIC) Network (EBN
focus on product advancement and innovation An area of industrial development set up in collaboration with, and in close proximity to, a centre of higher education, in order for industry to capitalize on academic research, for jobs to be created locally, and for the educational institute to generate income. It is hoped technology will not be the only transfer, and that academics will become aware of business methods. Oxford, UK, is among the many university towns to have a science park. increase growth and competitiveness of clusters within a region, involving cluster firms, government and/or the research community.
Host organizations allow NCP autonomy to NCP. NCP close to market, must be able to work with autonomy in order not to miss out on chances Network coordination, signposting/ communication system Boundaries Die Ausstattung 100 % funded. Close to market. Do not underestimate travel/ communication costs. Charging client organizations for enhancing professionalism, not for funding purposes.
Researchers seldom engage in international FP7 consortia and projects. Companies seldom close international technology deals. Start ups often die prematurely as they are not properly supported. Another key problem in Ukraine is the low level of international business and research activities of companies and research institutes. Evidence shows that research institutes, universities, and SMEs need services to support technology transfer, research internationalisation, and business incubation services as otherwise they miss out on business and technology cooperation opportunities. Researchers seldom engage in international FP7 consortia and projects. Companies seldom close international technology deals. Start ups often die prematurely as they are not properly supported. Likewise the Ukrainian economy misses out on international business opportunities leading to growth and jobs. In addition, Ukrainian innovation and business support infrastructure is ”under-networked“ when compared to their Western counterparts both bilaterally and within networks. Being cut out from accumulated international learning experiences, best practices, methodologies and tools ignites a virtuous circle. The downward spiral of professionalism of provided innovation and business support services makes it increasingly losing their raison d’être for assisting Ukrainian business in becoming more competitive. Likewise the gap to state of the art business support infrastructure widens and its actors are less and less able to provide state of the art business support services designed to help client organisations become more competitive in the globalised economy.

It is recommended to equip Ukrainian innovation and business support infrastructure with appropriate resources and with international state of the art business support services methodology and tools to help minimize and close this gap by setting up: Enterprise Europe Network Ukraine (EEN) to provide state of the art technology transfer and brokerage services to Ukrainian SMEs and research institutes; A comprehensive Ukrainian NCP support system with thematic NCPs to be systematically trained by the coordinating NCP; and Pilot Science and Technology Parks according to international standards. Such parks would host large and small companies and would foster collaboration between them. It would promote foreign direct investment. Said pilot Science and Technology Parks should host a business incubator.
