Description:
In this paper we examine the functional relationship of developing Science & Technology Parks (STPs) as necessary prerequisites and important drivers of the regional knowledge-based economy and the developed Venture Capital (VC) market. Functional relationships between these two vehicles of economic growth are put into context and tested on projected performance indicators and impact (forecasted data) which should result from implementation of specifically targeted technology programs that were recently set up as Government incentives and are managed by the Business Innovation Center of Croatia BICRO Ltd. in order to stimulate growth of the knowledge economy and technology-driven businesses. In our proposed model, the incentives on both the demand and the supply side of the VC market in Croatia are strong enough to encourage prevalence of the market in the hands of the private sector.
