Abstract
Based on a field study at a technological incubator affiliated with a leading Israeli university, this paper focuses on the construction and maintenance of informal networks of innovation, composed of entrepreneurs within the incubator, Technion staff and industry. A linear model of the development of emergent technology is set aside, while a cyclical model based on social networks is suggested. A wide array of exchange relationships (formal and informal), ranging from the use of library and laboratory services to an extensive and ongoing barter exchange of knowledge, know-how, and even shared practice is presented and discussed.
