Technology license agreements as public–private partnerships for economic development: evaluations using surveys, input–output modeling, and regression analysis. Journal of Innovation &amp; Entrepreneurship. 2/3/2025, Vol. 14 Issue 1, p1-23.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We evaluate license agreements as a form of technology transfer that constitutes a public–private partnership (PPP) with the primary goal of economic development. These license agreements permit entrepreneurs and other businesses to turn government innovations into earnings. We constructed a complete database of all license agreements between the U.S. Department of Defense and private industry from 2000 to 2021. We first surveyed the companies involved, achieving a 96% response rate. The subsequently anonymized responses allowed us to generate sales numbers and to model a variety of other national economic impacts. We tallied approximately $32 billion in direct sales across 590 license agreements. While the majority of license agreements with sales belong to smaller companies (which often attract additional investment), some large companies generate higher revenues. Further statistical modeling with the heavily anonymized data identifies features of license agreement situations that influence economic outcomes. Technology license agreements are a form of PPP that performs well against its goal of economic development without the downsides of some PPPs. Importantly, entrepreneurs can use this form of PPP to attract investment and to generate jobs and other societal benefits.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p><a href="https://innovation-entrepreneurship.springeropen.com/articles/10.1186/s13731-025-00467-y" rel="nofollow">https://innovation-entrepreneurship.springeropen.com/articles/10.1186/s13731-025-00467-y</a>&nbsp;</p></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <h2> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--ucb-related-articles-block paragraph--view-mode--default"> <div>Related Articles</div> </div> </h2> <div>Traditional</div> <div>0</div> <div>On</div> <div>White</div> Fri, 18 Jul 2025 15:15:12 +0000 Erik William Jeffries 18829 at /business The Leeds Business Confidence Index (LBCI) Q3 2025 /business/brd/publications/2025/06/30/leeds-business-confidence-index-lbci-q3-2025 <span>The Leeds Business Confidence Index (LBCI) Q3 2025</span> <span><span>Erik William J…</span></span> <span><time datetime="2025-06-30T16:00:37-06:00" title="Monday, June 30, 2025 - 16:00">Mon, 06/30/2025 - 16:00</time> </span> <div role="contentinfo" class="container ucb-article-tags" itemprop="keywords"> <span class="visually-hidden">Tags:</span> <div class="ucb-article-tag-icon" aria-hidden="true"> <i class="fa-solid fa-tags"></i> </div> <a href="/business/taxonomy/term/1452" hreflang="en">BRD LBCI</a> <a href="/business/taxonomy/term/843" hreflang="en">BRD news</a> </div> <div class="ucb-article-content ucb-striped-content"> <div class="container"> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--article-content paragraph--view-mode--default"> <div class="ucb-article-text" itemprop="articleBody"> <div> <div class="align-left image_style-small_500px_25_display_size_"> <div class="imageMediaStyle small_500px_25_display_size_"> <img loading="lazy" src="/business/sites/default/files/styles/small_500px_25_display_size_/public/2025-06/Screenshot%202025-06-30%20at%204.01.18%E2%80%AFPM.png?itok=2rUM50Ii" width="375" height="490" alt="LBCI Q3 2025"> </div> </div> <p><span>Business confidence improved ahead of Q3 2025, but remained squarely in negative territory as uncertainty and tariffs weighed on sentiment.
