“Since the beginning of the last century, worldwide, concentrations of industries in a specific geographical area, even if not always in explicitly organized spaces, have accumulated significant advantages over anarchic zoning. These industrial zones have gradually been characterized as industrial parks and have become places of industrial research, development and innovation.”

The Laboratory of Industrial and Energy Economics (LIEE) of the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA) is pleased to invite you to the online event “From research to market: promoting high technology women entrepreneurship”, organized as part of the Weekly Women Entrepreneurship initiative, on October 25, 2021 from 17:00 to 19:00. This global initiative was started by the Universities of New Jersey in the USA dealing with Entrepreneurship. This year it is held for the 8th year with the participation of more than 140 universities around the world (among them Babson, University of Michigan, UNC, Princeton, Cornell, University of Iowa, SetonHall, Georgetown etc.)
From Greece, for For the third consecutive year, the NTUA and the Laboratory of Industrial and Energy Economics of the School of Chemical Engineering participate in collaboration with the EPI nodule incubator of the NTUA. The aim of the event is to highlight important aspects of women’s entrepreneurship in our country. In our event we will host both women from the academic field with a strong research presence who are also interested in utilizing the results of their research, but also women with a strong research profile who try to turn their research into specific products and services of knowledge and technology intensity. In addition, we will try to highlight the need to strengthen women’s entrepreneurship through the institution of personalized coaching.
The LIEE participates in the international conference DRUID, an international conference-institution for research on innovation and the dynamics of structural, institutional and geographic change (DRUID21 Conference on Innovation and the Dynamics of Structural, Institutional and Geographic Change).This year, the conference will take place in Copenhagen between 18-20 October 2021. After the evaluation process was completed, it was decided that the LIEE will participate with three full scientific papers, which are shown below (free access to the link in the title).
- Dimas, P., Stamopoulos, D., and Tsakanikas, A.: “Where does the knowledge come from? A framework for tracing embodied knowledge in Global Value Chains”
This paper provides a new methodological framework that integrates knowledge-based capital investments (intangible assets) into the existing productive linkages of the economy and allows to identify the diffusion of the associated embedded knowledge into products and services in global value chains.
2. Dimas, P., Caloghirou, Y., Tsakanikas, A and Vonortas, N..: “Business intangibles in global value chains: In search of export competitive advantage”
This paper provides new empirical evidence on the contribution of intangible assets and participation in global value chains to the competitiveness of manufacturing sectors. The results suggest that intangibles contribute to the export performance and productivity of major industrial countries and highlight the importance of domestic intangibles compared to imported ones.
3. Protogerou, Α., Kontolaimou., Α. and Caloghirou. Y: “Creative industries and resilience in times of crisis: The role of firm and entrepreneurial team characteristics”
This paper aims to identify firm and business group characteristics that may contribute to resilience in the creative industries (CI) under adverse economic conditions.
The Laboratory of Industrial and Energy Economics (LIEE NTUA) participated in the DRUID 2021 Conference, held at CBS in Copenhagen from 18 to 20 October 2021.
DRUID (Danish Research Unit for Industrial Dynamics) was established in 1995 by CBS, AAU and SDU, with the aim of promoting the promotion of innovation and entrepreneurship research in Denmark. Today, the DRUID Annual Conference is one of Europe’s largest management conferences and competes only with the US Academy of Management, attracting top innovation and entrepreneurship researchers from around the world. The 2021 conference was conducted with full in-person participation, with main research interests focusing on innovation and entrepreneurship.
LIEE’s participants were Aggelos Tsakanikas, Asc. Professor at NTUA and Director of LIEE, Aimilia Protogerou, senior researcher at LIEE NTUA, and PhD Candidates Petros Dimas and Dimitrios Stamopoulos. More specifically, the presented papers were (link in the title):

The Industrial and Energy Economics Laboratory (IEEL) of NTUA undertakes the scientific supervision and coordination of the project ‘Technical Support to the General Secretariat for the Environment and Water’.
The project concerns the implementation of the Marine Strategy Framework Directive 2008/56/EC and the Bathing Water Quality Management Directive 2006/7/EC. Within the framework of Directive 2008/56/EC, the preparation, specification and monitoring of the Programmes of Measures, the monitoring of the implementation of the Monitoring Programmes, as well as the preparation of the specifications for the updating of the country’s marine strategy, with the aim of achieving and maintaining the good environmental status of marine waters. Within the framework of Directive 2006/7/EC, actions will be implemented concerning the monitoring and classification of bathing water quality in the country’s Regions and the preparation and updating of the capacities for the period 2017-2023. In addition, an evaluation of the results of the water quality monitoring program, a review of the monitoring network, updating and maintenance of the relevant interactive website and the development of an information system for the management of the country’s Bathing Water Identity Register are planned.
