Technology-Based Entrepreneurship and its Meeting Point with Techno-Scientific Convergence: A Review Using the Tree of Science
Journal Title: Revista CEA - Year 2023, Vol 9, Issue 19
Abstract
This article presents the results of a systematic literature review conducted to characterize the development of the field of Technology-Based Entrepreneurship (TBE) and its contribution to the evolution of the techno-scientific convergence of NBIC (Nanotechnology, Biotechnology, Information technology, and Cognitive science). This review used the Tree of Science (based on the SAP algorithm) to process references of indexed documents. The search retrieved sixty-nine articles published between 2000 and 2021 in the main collection of Web of Science, along with their respective Science Citation Index Expanded (SCI-Expanded), Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI), Arts & Humanities Citation Index (A&HCI), Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI). The most relevant documents show that universities can become catalysts between entrepreneurial students, professors, researchers, and investors, who can work together in the development of high-value, highly specialized projects. The meeting point between TBE and techno-scientific convergence was found in the need for multidisciplinary work teams, the integration of collaborative networks, and funding during development stages. Likewise, the link between science and business is growing stronger as the time between innovation and its impact on business is reduced. It is concluded that education can become the most important strategy for technology transfer—connecting entrepreneurs with converging technologies—because such transfer requires highly-specialized knowledge.
