Abstract

The aim of this paper is to analyse the role of the technology districts (TDs) for supporting KBD dynamics and then to provide a set of performance indicators finalised to assessing TDs' effectiveness and impact on these dynamics. After briefly introducing TD notion and discussing theory and practice on the relationships between KBD and TDs, the issues related to the importance to define performance frameworks and indicators assessing TDs' effectiveness and impact are analysed and discussed. Then, the performance prism is introduced and adopted as working framework leading the design of the set of specific TDs' performance indicators. The key contribution of this paper is to support policy-makers on a research-and-practice-based comprehension of TDs as drivers of a KBD as well as to advice on TDs performance measures.
