| Abstract: | Innovative development is increasingly seen and understood in a context beyond the boundaries of a single firm, namely that of an innovation network and the different forms it comes in. The newly founded High Tech Systems Park (HTSP) shares this idea. This article aims to explore our understanding of successful innovation campuses by working down from the networking concept, to the cluster concept, via the innovation campus, to relevant influencing factors. In doing so, this study addresses the questions of what (which factors), how (factor content), and when (campus development trajectory). The different networking concepts are rich, but the innovation campus is still unexplored in literature. A multiple case study into five top innovation campuses in the Netherlands ought to shed light on that topic. The results show that out of fourteen identified factors, seven success- and eight pitfall factors are possibly highly relevant during innovation campus development. In addition, it appears that several factor-effects differ between academic- and business driven campuses. This paper does not underestimate the (potential) differences between the ideal academic world and the complex reality, which is why in addition to developing a comprehensive factor model the most valued factors were translated to the HTSP situation. Keywords: Innovation Campus, Collaboration, Success/Pitfall Factors, HTSP, Support Organisation |
