Entrepreneurs and Inventors in Academia: Research Valorization and Entrepreneurship

Abstract

This paper provides a comprehensive examination of diverse research valorization methods in academia. It emphasizes the role of academic spin-off ventures in different valorization approaches and highlights the challenges involved in transitioning university inventors into entrepreneurs. In conclusion, the paper presents an overview of patent filing activities and the emergence of businesses resulting from research endeavors in an emerging context, with a specific focus on Morocco. Despite a notable rise in the number of patents filed by universities in the country, the establishment of such enterprises remains relatively
uncommon.
