Science parks and innovation centers are currently seen as development models for the growth of high-tech start-ups based on the partnerships between universities, research institutions and industries. Many governments have placed increasing emphasis on program initiatives to support small high-tech firms. However, science parks and innovation centers in many countries are not quite successful as expected. Whilst the importance of science parks and innovation centers for economic development is widely acknowledged, the value creation and technology commercialization success is seen as a vital part of an effective incubator redesign. Thus, the reformation of science parks and innovation centers is critical in nurturing high growth start-up enterprises in transition conditions for entrepreneurship.

In this special issue, we will focus on how to turn science parks and innovation centers into a generator of new enterprises. Moreover, we will review the challenges of the new innovation system to accelerate innovation commercialisation according to the Triple Helix Model. We also encourage contributions that analyse the role of government incubator support initiatives in managing R&D activities, encouraging technology transfer and commercialization. This special issue brings together academics, practitioners, researchers, and aims to deliver a reference edition for all those interested in the governance structure of the Triple Helix in redesigning an effective innovation incubation.
