<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">While the effectiveness of programs and projects developed around this core know-how have been demonstrated in many countries, these components are not quick and easy plug-in solutions <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">. The components will only work if they are carefully integrated into a comprehensive project. For example, some projects may include science park or incubator components -- because incubators and science parks have been effective elsewhere -- without carefully analyzing whether an incubator will be the correct solution in this particular case. Others may be overly focused on licensing as a way to realize income from knowledge – because licensing has been effective elsewhere - without investigating alternatives.
