Ecstatic with an important milestone in my career: my first publication in a FT50 journal! In collaboration with the amazing scholars Daniel Bennett and Gary A. Wagner, our paper, "Regional Innovation Networks and High-Growth Entrepreneurship," has been accepted by Research Policy, a Financial Times50 journal, also rated as 4* by the Academic Journal Guide, and A* in the ABDC list. 🎉 In this paper, we delve into the realm of innovation collaboration among inventors within regions, and its ripple effects on high growth entrepreneurship. Our findings underscore that regions with stronger innovation collaboration tend to exhibit more high-growth entrepreneurship. This positive effect is also amplified in regions with higher entrepreneurial capital. Some of our highlights include: - Uncovering the role of strong regional innovation networks in facilitating high-growth entrepreneurship, shedding light on a possible mechanism to penetrate the "knowledge filter" through knowledge diffusion. - Extending the Knowledge Spillover Theory of Entrepreneurship (KSTE) framework by emphasizing the importance of knowledge diffusion and connectivity, beyond mere knowledge production (e.g., higher number of patents). - Showing that the impact of regional innovation networks on high-growth entrepreneurship is contingent on the level of regional entrepreneurial capital, enriching our understanding of entrepreneurs as agents of knowledge spillovers. - Exploring the temporal dynamics of multi-year innovation networks, indicating that diffusion of newly created knowledge is crucial for high-growth firms. The paper is available online, you can download it for free until December 1st in this link: https://lnkd.in/dvnPaPD3 I am immensely grateful to my co-authors, Daniel Bennett and Gary A. Wagner, for their mentorship, dedication and unwavering support, which represented a very enriching experience for me. A big shout out to the Center for Free Enterprise at The University of Louisville and the Institute for Humane Studies (IHS) for their support and for nurturing a conducive environment for rigorous academic research and ambitious collaborative efforts! #Entrepreneurship #Innovation #highgrowth #gazelles #ResearchPolicy #AcademicPublication #EntrepreneurialEcosystem #Knowledge #KnowledgeDiffusion #Collaboration

🚀 Today, the Danish government presented its long-awaited strategy for Danish entrepreneurship. The strategy has been in the works for quite some time, but the wait has been worth it!   The strategy seeks to bolster Danish innovation and entrepreneurship with up to 2.1 billion DKK, focusing on concrete initiatives to boost the support and development of even more student- and research-based startup ventures.   The newly released strategy not only supports the many founders out there but also provides important funds for the underlying support functions at the Danish universities, which will help the creation of more startups from students and researchers alike.   From our perspective, we are beyond happy to see that the Danish government has provided concrete initiatives that will:   🙎♀️ Focus on and strengthening diversity in Danish entrepreneurship and provide better access to venture capital from government-supported organisations.   🔬 Open Entrepreneurship DK will be supported financially, thereby ensuring the great collaboration efforts across universities to turn innovative research into brilliant spinouts.   📍 New opportunities for longer support through reforming the current campus law. This change could mean access to e.g. laboratories even after getting a CVR number. That would mean more coexistence for startups and research environments, thereby ensuring longer support for deep tech startups.   Destination has been set. We’re ready for liftoff! 💥   #DTUInnovation #Iværksætterstrategi #dkpol #Innovation #Entrepreneurship #Iværksætteri DTU - Technical University of Denmark Photo: Bax Lindhardt
