in particular concentrating on technology centres and technical colleges. The most important institutions in the so-called Upper Austrian Technology Network are the six technology centres.

Another element of the technologyand innovation-related system are established the recently three technical colleges (Fachhochschulen.

The regional university, located in Linz, is compared relatively small to the major university locations in Austria, Vienna and Graz,

and it is specialized not in technology. There are also no major contract research organizations as in other parts of Austria.

SMES are rarely interacting with universities, contract research organizations, technology centres, and training institutions (see also Cooke et al.,

53.1 Suppliers 60.7 40.7 79.7 39.1 Other firms (horizontal relations) 27.1 10.0 37.5 15.6 Service firms 34.3 15.0 46.9 20.3 Universities

Only universities are more important on the national level, because the most important universities are located outside Upper Austria.

A too dominant focus on the region limits the scope of available technical information technologies, and accessible markets.

The SWP was founded in 1987, initiated by a department of the University of Linz (Research Institute for Symbolic Computation.

Today the centre comprises three types of institutions university departments, a technical college, and firms.

Accordingly, the innovation-related activities cover research, higher education and training, and applied industrial development. Research is done primarily by the three departments of the University of Linz

which are located partly in Hagenberg, teaching by the technical college (offering the courses Media Engineering and Media Design and Software engineering),

and industrial development projects by the firms. The 27 companies in the park are predominantly very small.

Higher education receives federal funds, but additional subsidies are rare. Currently, there are approximately 100 persons working in the park.

The technical college has about 300 students. Networking between scientific institutes, research laboratories firms, and the technical college is an important organizational principle of the centre.

The Research and Training Centre for Labour and Technology (FAZAT) is located in one of the old industrial areas of Austria in Steyr.

The original plan of an incubation centre was extended soon to the more ambitious project of a technology centre including a technical college.

In the field of process automation (especially robotics) the Institute for Flexible Automatization of the Technical University of Vienna has a contract research subsidiary in the FAZAT

The support instruments have not been successful in helping firms to establish relations with universities and other research organizations, especially interactive relations in joint innovation projects.

but this might change in the future with the increasing importance of technical colleges which are still very young institutions in Austria.

In this regard, universities, science parks and the like may influence the level of RTD because they contribute to the stock of regional knowledge

Such an infrastructure includes universities, public and private R&d institutions, a sufficient supply of highly qualified labour and a generally good infrastructure of business support institutions.

universities or research institutions triggered regional development with a particular role for R&d. Examples include Silicon valley, Route 128 or Cambridge in the UK.

In industry-led networks RTD-intensive large firms are the innovative hub, with close links to university research.

Lawton-Smith (2005) illustrates the effect key actors can have on local capacity building drawing on the example of star scientists who link locally based scientific institutions to the international academic community.

The author shows how high-technology firms in the electronics sector used the regional strengths of North East England and drew on universities in building up their companies,

Instruments include, for example, the establishment of science parks, subsidies to foster R&d personnel in smaller firms and the exchange of scientific personnel 19 between universities and firms, programmes for scientific cooperation and measures

On the other hand, Karlsson and Andersson (2005), in their study on Sweden, indicate that the spatial pattern of industrial R&d is sensitive to the location of university R&d,

In summarising a number of studies on university technology transfer efforts, Phan and Siegel (2006) consider the following lessons to be taken from these studies:

The authors moreover point to the fact that universities need to think strategically about this process,

as their review demonstrates that university administrators appear to be concerned more often with protecting intellectual property rights

Innovation policy focuses on interaction between firms and with the institu 20 tional infrastructure, such as R&d and higher education institutions.

which would involve being near to universities and scientific research institutions. More recently, in connection with the recent trend on creativity and its relation to regional RTD, one study started arguing for regional RTD policies to be oriented more towards the different types of knowledge in innovative industries (Hogni Kalso

namely an increase in R&d activities within universities, are not sufficient to create the conditions necessary for new agglomerations to emerge.

Examples include universities which produce specialised knowledge and trained personnel, industry associations offering specialised services or financing institutions such as venture capital fonds and business angels.

Technology/spin-off clusters often are promoted through government policies or university initiatives. In a way, they resemble the hub

-and-spoke model with the university or government agency being the catalyst for locational processes, although other authors have voiced some concern about the possibilities of external agencies in fostering such agglomerations (O'Gorman and Kautonen 2004, Phan and Siegel 2006.

Each cluster might take a variety of generic structural forms, based on either power asymmetries, commercial relationships or interactions with noncommercial actors such as municipalities or universities;

which has been included because of the university environment, and Boston/Route 128, which has been chosen for its demonstrated potential to overcome a crisis. Montpellier in South France stands for The french technopole concept,

or the‘Bangalore University'with 250,000 students as well as a number of public research institutes covering various areas such as IT, artificial intelligence, production technologies, aircraft-/aerospace (Fromhold-Eisebith and Eisebith 1999).

Many local universities and research centres foster knowledge spillovers into industry and close research-industry cooperation.

This is supported by the‘academic flair'of Bangalore as a university city. Bangalore's software cluster owes‘its origins

In the first place, its resources in terms of the excellent educational 40 infrastructure with first-class universities (e g.,, Harvard, MIT) are the basis for the highly skilled workforce available in the area.

the ability of the local university to attract research funds is compared extraordinary to other universities.

Concerning science, there are several higher education institutes with about 35,000 students. The University of Bremen is the largest amongst them educating 22,000 students.

Furthermore, there are renowned nonuniversity based research institutes like a Max-Planck-Institute or a Fraunhofer Institute.

The technology park‘University of Bremen, 'founded at the end of the 1980s, contains the university, the technology and incubation centre‘BITZ'as well as numerous companies.

A main issue in Bremen contributing to the emergence of an innovative milieu are policies

Also, stakeholders raised concerns in the Review of Higher education Regulation regarding the burden of reporting requirements (Phillipskpa, 2013.
