Editor's Notes
- TTO is only one small part of the entire entrepreneurship ecosystem in the university that affects technology transfer. The various practices described above – some targeted explicitly at technology transfer, and others targeted at student entrepreneurship in general – play a direct or indirect role in providing the opportunities for faculty and students to come together to create spinoffs for technology transfer. These practices may not, on their own, create successful spinoffs for universities, but they provide rich ground for faculty and students to experiment in a relatively safe environment before they take the deep plunge of graduating from the university and launching a new venture.
