The main aim of the work is to support the work of a RE/universities expert group convened:
• To appraise critically the concept of the “entrepreneurial-university eco-system”.
• To develop a model of its intended outcomes (related to new technology/knowledge-based firm formation), key components (ingredients to entrepreneurship) and key policies and processes (eg enablers, linkages) – what it is, how it works, what it achieves, how it developed and how it can be improved.
• To test the model in a likely well developed eco-system: greater London.
• To advise Research England on the applicability of the model beyond London.
• To identify further steps that might be taken collaboratively across the London university sector and its eco-system to achieve better outcomes. Longer term impacts may include increased R&D intensity in the UK economy, improved international comparative advantage in knowledge/technology intensive start up and scale up, growth and productivity.
This tender is to secure appropriate experts to support the first stage of the project.
