Abstract
In the modern society, universities and research centres are directly involved in the process of country economic growth by spurring product development, by creating new industries, and by contributing to employment and wealth creation. Research based spin offs are often the best way to reach these goals. For this reason, the number of research based firms spurred by Public Research Organisations is remarkably increased in the last years both in United States and in European Countries. On the other hand, this growth is not homogeneously distributed among different countries. According to these considerations, the aim of this paper is to understand which characteristics of public research institutions can influence positively or negatively the rise of research spin offs and which policies the research organisations can adopt to favour the generation of research-based spin-offs.
