00925njm 22002777a 4500 dc Pique, Josep Miquel author Berbegal-Mirabent, Jasmina author Etzkowitz, Henry author 2020-10-03 Universities play a unique role in ecosystems of innovation. They interact with the other agents of the Triple Helix model, developing their functions in relation to each other and together with industry and government. Grounded in key conceptual frameworks—Triple Helix, Regional Innovation Systems and Entrepreneurial University—we analyze how the leading universities in Silicon Valley (UC Berkeley, Stanford and UC San Francisco) have evolved, adapting to new demands and, in turn, shaping the evolution of Silicon Valley. To do so we use quantitative and qualitative data and examine the changes occurring between 2007 and 2018. A close examination of the data from this period reveals an increased attention to entrepreneurship education and an intensified activity of technology transfer offices. Equally relevant are the increased interactions between universities and investors (business angels, Venture Capital funds and corporate investors), and the improvement of specific infrastructures to incubate and accelerate business ideas. 2197-1927 http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14342/4813 https://doi.org/10.1163/21971927-bja10009 Ecosystems of innovation Entrepreneurial universities Evolution Silicon Valley Triple Helix Ecosistemes d'innovació Universitats emprenedores Evolució The Role of Universities in Shaping the Evolution of Silicon Valley’s Ecosystem of Innovation
