Abstract

New businesses are an important source of economic growth (Fritsch 2013), especially those start-ups that pose a competitive threat to incumbent firms by introducing a significant innovation. The available data suggest that only a small fraction of all start-ups is of such quality and that their geographic distribution is highly uneven (Fritsch 2011). According to the knowledge spillover theory of entrepreneurship (Acs et al. 2009), new businesses in general, and highly innovative start-ups in particular, are manifestations of knowledge spillover from extant knowledge sources. Hence, the number and the types of new business are shaped considerably by the regional knowledge base, and the emergence of innovative start-ups can be especially expected in regions with significant amounts of knowledge, private or public.
