Publikation Success factors of deep tech incubators. A qualitative study(2024) Meyer, Dario; Colonna, Francesco; Meyer, Rolf; Buisine, StéphanieDeep tech start-ups, characterized by their focus on groundbreaking technologies and scientific advancements, face unique challenges that demand specialized support systems for their development and market entry. This paper presents a qualitative analysis based on ten interviews with managers of deep tech incubators, exploring the services offered, critical success factors, challenges and anticipated future changes. The services provided by incubators are comprehensive, ranging from technical and business mentorship to assistance in regulatory processes and access to financial resources. The study identifies that the success of deep tech incubators depends on customized support for start-ups, access to expertise and facilities, and a strong ecosystem and community network. Customized support ensures that the unique needs of each start-up are met, while access to technical resources and a vibrant network facilitates innovation and growth. Challenges such as cultural and mindset differences, operational difficulties, and regulatory navigation underscore the complex landscape in which these incubators operate. Anticipated changes within the next few years include a shift in investment focus towards projects with significant societal impact, an increase in international collaboration, and a deeper recognition of deep tech's role in solving global challenges. This paper contributes to the understanding of deep tech incubation, highlighting the support required to foster innovation in this sector. The insights from this study can inform policymakers, investors, and managers of deep tech incubators on fostering a conducive environment for innovation and growth in the deep tech sector.04B - Beitrag KonferenzschriftPublikation Short duration, lasting impression.

The sector is underdeveloped and facing many challenges. This article proposes possible solutions to the challenges facing necessity entrepreneurs in this sector. The findings show that an “agricultural business hub” could consolidate the sector and address many of the challenges on an ongoing basis in order to increase farmer productivity and profitability. Such a Hub could exploit modern technology - in particular, mobile phones, internet and apps - to facilitate communication and dissemination of information to farmers and their markets. Besides reviewing existing literature, this study was conducted using a face-to-face in-depth interview with a field expert.01A - Beitrag in wissenschaftlicher ZeitschriftPublikation The impact of culture on entrepreneurship: machine learning analysis(CJEAS, 2023) Al-Kilani, Mahmoud; Meyer, Rolf; Meyer, Dario; Schnyder, Daniel; Sabo, Vlad-AndreiEntrepreneurship is one of the main pillars of the economy and it has a substantial role to pay in economic development by creating new jobs and opportunities, driving innovation, and developing new markets, products, and services. This study aims to better understand the motivations of people who choose to undertake entrepreneurial activity and to try to pinpoint some of the key factors that move them to do so. Three independent data sets (the GEM, WVS and Hofstede) were computed and significant correlations with Total Early-Stage Entrepreneurial Activity (TEA) noted. Machine learning techniques were applied to the data sets in different regression models to show that the most important relationship between the different variables is the TEA with Perceived Capabilities (PC).01A - Beitrag in wissenschaftlicher ZeitschriftPublikation Evaluating the key success factors of social business hubs in the Middle East(IJSAB International, 2021) Al-Kilani, Mahmoud; Verkuil, Arie Hans; Meyer, RolfSocial business hubs play an important role in facilitating social innovation and support social entrepreneurs to deliver social benefits to the wider community. This paper aims to firstly identify and evaluate the key success factors of social business hubs in the Middle East with the focus on Jordan, Lebanon and Iraq, secondly, identify what successful social hubs offer, and thirdly, identify the challenges facing social business hubs in the region. In-depth interviews with eight social business hub managers were conducted using a pre-designed questionnaire. The findings were interesting and meaningful and show the impact severity of the COVID-19 pandemic on the infrastructure of the social business hubs. Networking and collaboration seem to be the predominant success factor for social business hubs. Finally, we observe that social business hubs in the region are facing many challenges; the main two are lack of government support and funding issues.01A - Beitrag in wissenschaftlicher ZeitschriftPublikation Case Study «Amunemi»(edition gesowip, 2020) Aeschbacher, Marc; Verkuil, Arie Hans; Meyer, Rolf; Aeschbacher, Marc04A - Beitrag SammelbandPublikation Case Study "Perseo Pharma"(edition gesowip, 2020) Kabous, Laila; Verkuil, Arie Hans; Meyer, Rolf; Aeschbacher, MarcFounded in 2019, Perseo Pharma is a preclinical-stage biotech company with a unique asset for the development of enzyme therapies.
