APOIOS PÚBLICOS E PERFORMANCE DAS SPIN-OFFS ACADÉMICAS - O CASO NEOTEC
Palavras-chave:
performance , políticas públicas , programa Neotec spin-offs académicas , transferência de conhecimentoResumo
Fruto da conjugação de uma série de fatores, nas últimas décadas, as universidades foram assumindo gradualmente um papel cada vez mais ativo na comercialização direta dos resultados da investigação produzida intramuros. Um dos mecanismos diz respeito à criação de novas empresas que são responsáveis pela comercialização e tradução do conhecimento criado em valor económico, que neste estudo designamos por ASO (Academic Spin-Off).
Estas novas empresas são um importante instrumento de transferência de conhecimento, mas são ainda relativamente escassos os estudos sobre este mecanismo que necessita de ser melhor compreendido. Desta forma, este estudo foca-se na influência que os apoios públicos podem ter no desempenho deste tipo de empresas ao longo dos seus estágios iniciais. Os apoios públicos estudados concernem: ao financiamento através de subsídios públicos, à incubação, à consultoria, à elaboração do plano de negócios (PN) e à prova de conceito.
Este estudo encontrou suporte empírico para a correlação positiva e estatisticamente significativa entre os subsídios públicos e os apoios de consultoria e à prova de conceito e o desempenho das ASO. O apoio de incubação tendo uma relação positiva com o desempenho não é estatisticamente significativa e o apoio à elaboração do PN apresenta um comportamento misto.
