Given recent demands for more co-creational university technology commercialisation
processes involving industry and end users, this paper adopts a micro level approach to explore
the interaction between Quadruple Helix stakeholders within the university technology
commercialisation process using a stakeholder lens. To explore this research question, a
qualitative research methodology which relies upon comparative case analysis was adopted to
explore the technology commercialisation process in two universities within a UK region. The
findings revealed that university type impacts Quadruple Helix stakeholder salience and
engagement and consequently university technology commercialisation activities and process.
This is important as recent European regional policy fails to account for contextual influences
when promoting Quadruple Helix stakeholder relationships in co-creational university
technology commercialisation.
