Biography[edit]

Magnus Klofsten was born in 1959 in Sweden. He obtained his PhD from Linköping University in 1992, with a dissertation entitled "Early Development Processes in Technology-Based Firms."[6] In 1996, he was appointed as an associate professor, and since 2002, he has held the position of full professor in innovation and entrepreneurship.[7]. In 2013 Magnus Klofsten was a visiting professor at Macquarie University, Australia and from 2021 - 2022 he was a Visiting professor at Central University, Vienna. Since 2023, he is a visiting professor at Northumbria University in the United Kingdom[8].

Research[edit]

Professor Magnus Klofstens research is oriented towards the creation and growth of new ventures, business incubation aspects of academic entrepreneurship and ecosystems.

His early scientific contributions led to the development of a model known as the Business Platform[9][10] which is an entrepreneurship theory that identifies key factors characterizing technology-based firms during their initial stages[11]. This model encompasses eight dynamic cornerstones, each varying in levels of significance: idea, product, market, organization, competence, driving forces, customers, and other collaborative relationships. These cornerstones play a crucial role in shaping the early growth and development processes of such firms. The Business Platform Model are used in practical applications[12], particularly within the realm of entrepreneurship training in Sweden and Europe.

Over the past few decades, professor Klofsten has shifted his focus towards various aspects of the entrepreneurial academia and the surrounding ecosystem. The paper titled Comparing Academic Entrepreneurship in Europe – The Case of Sweden and Ireland,[13] is one of the first articles defining the constructs of academic entrepreneurship[14]. Another highly cited paper[15] explores the topic of knowledge-based regional development[16], where an emerging entrepreneurial ecosystem is longitudinally studied over a period of 30 years. This research provides insights into the dynamic nature of ecosystems and the intricate relationships within such systems.
