Abstract
In the last decade, there was a significant increase in the number of academic spin-offs in Europe based on a change in government incentives that foster universities and research institutions to share and commercialize their research results.

In this paper there is a literature review on the field of academic spin-offs performance indicators and related influencing factors in order to identify which indicators and which external factor does the academic community consider most appropriate for this assessmentI documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
