The programme combines insights in terms of processes and of team composition from the entrepreneurship literature and puts them into practice in an internal incubation programme that is generated from the bottom-up. Based on hands-on experiences and interviews with key stakeholders in the process, we evaluate the programme and distill lessons learned. The article highlights the importance of a structured technology transfer process in the early stages of opportunity discovery and entrepreneurial action, and it offers insights on team formation for academic spin-offs.10aacademic spin-off10aentrepreneurial action10aentrepreneurship10aincubation10aresearch valorization10atechnology transfer1 aSchuurman, Dimitri1 aDe Vocht, Stan1 aDe Cleyn, Sven1 aHerregodts, Aron-Levi  uhttp://timreview.ca/article/1095
