Abstract: Abstract Over the past few decades, social scientists have developed a worldwide interest in the driving forces and socio-economic impacts of innovation and entrepreneurship (see Nijkamp 2009a, b; Stimson et al. 2006). Innovation has turned out to be a critical parameter of human intelligence and of the cognitive ability of human kind. Nowadays, both factors are considered to be the major drivers of socio-economic and technological change, able to stimulate the continuous production of new products or processes. To persuade society to continuously adopt such changes requires a systematic and integrative combination of knowledge assets managed within a framework of institutions, regulations, and some kind of socio-cognitive mechanisms (Hall et al. 2005).
