Assigned by the University of Twente, Van der Meer & van Tilburg studied the possibilities to involve regional business networks in the TOP-arrangement (Temporary Entrepreneur Placements). Starting entrepreneurs were placed at an existing company. The company itself functions as an incubator, instead of the university. Potential entrepreneurs with a viable and well-balanced business plan were invited for an interview. Promising entrepreneurs were helped by the university in the start-up phase of the enterprise.
