Technology institutes (TIs) are non-profit innovation
and technology organisations aimed to
encourage competitiveness of firms. They are a
key organisation in the Spanish National Innovation
System because of their size and closeness
to the productive sector. Despite this, there is a
lack of studies trying to measure their performance
and its determinants. This work sheds some
light on this. We study the influence of operative,
financial, organisational, relational and general
variables on three measures of results: selffinance, impact and added value. Our conclusions show the relevance of this approach and are confirmed by grouping TIs according to their service supply characteristics.Publicad
