AB Understanding how academia and industry operate and relate to each other is core to improving the efficiency ofthe entrepreneurial ecosystem. Reason why, this paper focuses on whether university prestige has a homogeneouseffect on university entrepreneurship. Specifically, whether the relationship between academic prestige andentrepreneurship varies according to the nature of the firm, digital or not, or according to the size of theentrepreneurial partner. To answer this question, this paper uses a negative binomial regression model with paneldata with respect to the number of intellectual property (IP) licences granted by the university, using mainly datafrom the Higher Education Statistics Agency. The results suggest that although university prestige affects thenumber of IP licences granted, its effect ceases to be significant when the nature of the licences is digital. Moreover,we cannot claim that the influence of prestige is greater when the licencee is a small company.
