A Proposal for a Standard With Innovation Management System

creation of knowledge expands the set of technological opportunity. What is also important is that not
only to share knowledge for the development of research-based innovation within the academia, but
to exchange it with practitioners on the field (Lichtenthaler 2011). In case of Øresund cleantech
development open communication with practitioners could result in specific goal-oriented innovation
outcomes.
Therefore, development of academic entrepreneurship in the Øresund region could contribute to the
processes of commercialization and dissemination of cleantech innovations. It requires setting
entrepreneurial mindset in universities and developing broader mobilization among academic
institutions (Brorstad et al. 2009). The achievement of concrete goals requires “focused”
entrepreneurial education and support students-faculty partnerships, which promote cleantech. We
suggest that entrepreneurial education, which is specifically focused on the cleantech innovations and
their dissemination, could be helpful to achieve low-carbon goals of the region and it could promote
interest to cleantech startups among the researchers and students in universities.
