Abstract
The article reports on the creation of spin-off companies at the University of Twente in The Netherlands. Two programmes are discussed: The TOP and the TOS programmes. In the TOP programme graduates of the university are encouraged to start their own knowledge-intensive companies. Since 1986 94 of these companies have been started. In the TOS programme product ideas are identified within existing companies and matched with entrepreneurs.Keywords
