The objective of this paper is to contribute to a deeper understanding of the role of higher education institutions as dynamic promoters of growth and development. The University of Porto is used as a case study to explore how universities can act as innovation ecosystems leaders and integrators. The main contributions of the paper are threefold. First, the case puts in evidence a key success factor: the talent to transform the knowledge produced by universities into valuable solutions for companies and other organisations. Second, links between universities and industry must assume a long-term and relational nature rather than an intermittent and transactional character. Finally, the success of university-based ecosystems depends on the integration of a diversity of actors, resources and competences. This means that a sustainable strategy of innovation and knowledge valorisation requires an approach that fosters both internal and external networking.<\/p>\n<p>(<a href=\"https:\/\/journals.fe.up.pt\/index.php\/IJMAI\/article\/view\/585\/379\" target=\"_blank\"  rel=\"nofollow\" >Read the full Letter<\/a>)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"articleSubject\">\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is an invitation to read the Letter from Academia to the Journal of Innovation Management written by MIETE Marketing Professor and former Pro-Rector of U.Porto.
