Collaboration portfolios and outcomes of nanotechnology research projects: a study of economic value creation and utilization of nanotechnologies in the Netherlands

Several studies indicated the importance of the role of Public RD a positive effect was also found for partners without embededness in the technological network. Having multiple Research Institutes in the project had a negative effect on product availability performance of the projects. The framework introduced in this study allows an evaluation of the effects of partner portfolios and commitment on the invention and financial performance of Public R&D projects.
