Abstract

In recent years there has been considerable interest in those regional development policies which emphasize new technology and innovation. The High-tech Centre (HTC) is one such innovation-oriented regional policy. The emphasis on the stimulation of high-tech industry through HTCs and other initiatives by so many countries around the world is based on the assumption that technological innovation leads to economic growth (Lowe, 1985, Simmie et al., 1993, Oakey, 1981, Grayson, 1993), but the HTC is not a uniform concept. There are many different types and in fact development processes too vary considerably in different countries and regions.KeywordsTechnology TransferCentral GovernmentHigh Education InstitutionLocal Economic DevelopmentScience ParkThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
