      <dc:description>Public administrations are aware of the importance of generating intellectual capital for&#xd;
the economic growth of a nation. Therefore, they have increasingly required&#xd;
universities to play a more active role in developing and exploiting the results of their&#xd;
research. This challenge has been taken on by universities, which have added a new&#xd;
mission aimed at increasing the value of their research through the transfer of new&#xd;
knowledge, experience and technological solutions to the market.&#xd;
The backbone of the European innovation strategy is knowledge transfer from&#xd;
universities to companies, being the programmes supporting the creation of university&#xd;
spin-offs one of its pillars. The aim of this paper is to find out the factors determining&#xd;
the commercial exploitation of university research through companies created for this&#xd;
purpose. Consulting the websites of Spanish universities and their respective&#xd;
Technology Transfer Offices led to the identification of 499 spin-offs. By correlating&#xd;
their number and technological nature with the research potential of the university of&#xd;
origin, the general economic situation and the assistance received in creating this type&#xd;
of companies, through discriminant analysis, a positive relation was found between the&#xd;
creation of university spin-offs and the average number of projects achieved by the&#xd;
university, and their technological nature is positively related to the number of patents&#xd;
awarded to the university. This paper focuses on Spain; however, the aspects&#xd;
addressed are common to other countries, and therefore its results may be of interest&#xd;
to universities and policy makers wishing to promote the commercialisation of research&#xd;
outcomes.</dc:description>
