5. a question and an answer
Are the Italian spin off coming from research able to promote
innovation, industrial development and competitiveness?
not yet, because
► they are too small and do not grow
► they are not sufficiently capitalized
► they are weak on the market
► they are not properly selected at the start up
► their goal is, too often, the product, not the market
► their mission is not clear
In general, there is absence of systemic organization
