Drawing from case studies from the Estonian biotechnology sector, we demonstrate that a focus on the classic formal approach to technology transfer does not fully capture the dynamics and challenges of technology transfer in a peripheral context. We focus on biotechnology because this is an area where entrepreneurial orientation of knowledge institutions and formal models of technology transfer are highly visible. Our case studies show that the knowledge generation and the diffusion contexts of peripheral economies can create barriers to technology transfer that conventional policy approaches do not address.

经济外围的技术转移：新兴模式和政策挑战

从爱沙尼亚生物技术部门的案例研究中，我们证明了对技术转让的经典正式方法的关注并没有完全捕捉到外围环境中技术转让的动态和挑战。我们专注于生物技术，因为在这个领域，知识机构的创业导向和技术转让的正式模型非常明显。我们的案例研究表明，外围经济体的知识生成和传播环境可能会对传统政策方法无法解决的技术转让造成障碍。
