Conclusion and Recommendation

Abstract

This chapter provides the conclusion. The results imply that innovation centers and incubator programs that provide continuing tangible and intangible services are able to add value to the companies they support. This leads to a high number of tenants in incubator programs and a high number of start-up companies. The most common outcome from innovation is economic growth. In addition innovation systems in developed and developing countries lead to a platform for policy decisions and high technology derivatives. The results of the survey of a sample of seventy-four organizations, ten real interviews focused in the US, UK and GCC, and ten international multi-cases are reported. Key findings and recommendations for guidelines are also presented in this section.
