Post-Print from HAL

Abstract: Research spin-offs highlight the potential importance of science parks-incubators. Italy has recently given considerable attention both to the research spin-off phenomenon and to these structures. In order to analyse the relationship between science parks-incubators and research spin-offs, the results of a questionnaire investigation is provided. It highlighted interesting findings on the most utilized facilities provided by science parks-incubators and on the main characteristics of on-park spin-offs. Furthermore, the Bioindustry Park Silvano Fumero has been chosen as a case-study because it is one of the most important in Italy, it introduced the life science sector in a territory mainly based on other sectors, it hosts research spin-offs, but it is quite far from higher education institutions. This characteristic makes the Park an interesting case-study, given the general importance of the proximity to the parent institute. It seems that the activities implemented by the park are able to fill the distance gap.
