The purpose of this study is to answer the following research questions: How the problems of the commercialisation process are described in former studies? What problems do STFs confront during commercialisation process? The problem areas of commercialisation are: infrastructure; marketing; financing; internationalisation. STF managers and venture capitalists should focus especially marketing and internationalisation. Policymakers and educators should ensure the availability of skilled resources for STFs.
