Thematic experience of current research on successful incubation and acceleration:

Together with 60 prominent scholars, researchers, and experienced practitioners from around the world, Professor Magnus Klofsten, LiU, has published the "Handbook of Research on Business and Technology Incubation and Acceleration: A Global Perspective" (2021), which is an impressive compilation of current research on what constitutes successful incubation and acceleration in North America, Europe, Asia, and other regions of the world. At this knowledge and experience sharing meeting, we will meet Magnus Klofsten and the co-authors Sarfraz Mian of State University of New York and Wadid Lamine of University of Ottawa, and other key contributors.

• How do we stand in Sweden when it comes to benchmarking with innovation environments in other countries?
• What role do innovation environments play in the transformation of business and society, for example when it comes to sustainability?
• What about the use of digital technologies to support incubation processes?
