This special collection seeks submissions that investigate technology transfer, entrepreneurship, and innovation through partnerships between academic researchers and external stakeholders such as practitioners and policymakers. The editors recognize that meaningful research in this field often benefits from close collaboration across disciplinary and sectoral boundaries, providing access to emerging phenomena and underexplored mechanisms that traditional approaches might miss.

The collection particularly welcomes papers co-authored by academics and non-academic partners including technology transfer professionals, policymakers, entrepreneurs, investors, and innovation intermediaries. Such collaborative work is expected to generate unique insights, improve data access, broaden empirical scope, and tackle fundamental questions from diverse perspectives while maintaining rigorous academic standards.
