 Abstract

The Netherlands is facing a situation in which much knowledge is created at universities but small amounts are brought to market. Various indicators point to missing links in knowledge valorization in this country. To arrive at a better understanding of knowledge valorization the paper presents an exploration of failure/success on the project level, including an exploration of hampering factors. The attention then moves to the concept of ‘living labs’ currently ‘en vogue’ in enhancing speed and efficiency of knowledge valorization. A state-of-the-art analysis is followed by an inventory of what is not known about ‘living labs’ and a preliminary assessment of their benefits.
