About the Project

Some of the most celebrated startup success stories, such as Dropbox, Airbnb, started from a tech acceleration programme. The objective of the research is to analyse the factors that are required for such organisations to realise their full potential. The aim is to transfer this knowledge to the heavily subsidised science parks in public business incubators, policy and entrepreneurial support programmes designs.

A System Dynamics Methodology to investigate different scenarios of development at regional level or internally for the accelerator units is proposed to demonstrate the effects of different scenarios.
