Abstract

Technologie-, Gründer- oder Innovationszentren (TGZ) sind als Instrumente städtischer Technologieund Innovationsstrategien kaum mehr wegzudenken. Das fundamentale Ziel einer Unternehmensförderung durch TGZ besteht darin, die Startschwierigkeiten junger Unternehmen zu kompensieren und sie langfristig lebensfähig zu machen. Bislang ist jedoch nicht geklärt, inwiefern TGZgeförderte Unternehmen tatsächlich langfristig höhere Überlebenschancen besitzen als nicht geförderte Unternehmen außerhalb der TGZ. Dieser Frage widmet sich das IWH in der aktuell laufenden IWH-TGZ-Kontrollgruppenstudie. Der vorliegende Artikel stellt erste Ergebnisse daraus vor. Die Studie berücksichtigt insgesamt 371 geförderte Unternehmen aus TGZ in den Städten Dresden, Halle (Saale), Jena, Neubrandenburg und Rostock. Diesen wird eine ebenso große Kontrollgruppe von Unternehmen gegenübergestellt, die nicht durch TGZ gefördert wurden, ansonsten den TGZUnternehmen aber in wesentlichen Merkmalen gleichen. Signifikant höhere Überlebenschancen geförderter Unternehmen gegenüber der jeweiligen Kontrollgruppe sind für keinen der fünf untersuchten Standorte nachweisbar. In drei von fünf Fällen besitzen die geförderten Unternehmen langfristig signifikant niedrigere Überlebenschancen gegenüber der Kontrollgruppe. Die Ergebnisse legen daher den Schluss nahe, dass es für Unternehmen der untersuchten Standorte für ihr Überleben unerheblich ist bzw. negative Auswirkungen hat, wenn sie eine Förderung durch TGZ erhalten haben.
