Abstract: This paper is built on findings from case studies with 15 research-based spin-off companies (RSOs) undertaken in Belarus in 2003-2007. It considers the demand, supply and specific factors influencing the direction, speed and mode of growth of RSOs: those specific to Belarus as a Post-Soviet economy, and those common in the world due to economic nature of RSOs. The factors shaping the geography of RSO’s market (international vs. local) are distinguished. Special attention is paid to economic relations and in particular conflicts of interests between RSO‘s internal decision-makers and external actors as factors impacting RSO’s growth trajectories. .
