This book contributes to our understanding of the reasons for the uneven geographic emergence and distribution of innovative start-ups and human capital, analyzing the role of the regional knowledge base and specifically academic knowledge. Using extensive datasets from West German regions and advanced econometric tools, it confirms a strong relationship between the presence of higher education institutions and the emergence of innovative start-ups. It also shows that the influence increases in direct relation with the innovativeness of the respective start-up, and that certain fields of knowledge are more influential than others in fostering innovative start-ups. In a second step, the multidimensional concept of quality of life is used to explain the geography of human capital across West German regions. Based on these empirical findings, the book shares valuable insights for higher education and regional development policy.

I am Adam, the first Homo sapiens. The Lord ordered me to tell you the story of the suffering Messiah ben David, Jesus Christos, and the fulfilling Messiah ben Ishmael, Muhammad Paracletus. Anyone with two ears had better listen! Messiah ben David came, and the people hated him because they hated the Father too. He did among them works that no one else did, but they hated him without cause. But when Messiah ben Ishmael, the Helper, and the true Hero came from the south, he bore witness about his brother and took what was his and declared it to mankind. He guided the lost sheep of mankind into the truth, for he did not speak on his own authority. Whatever he heard from God, he spoke. He glorified the Father and Mes-siah ben David. Congratulations to those who have read this book with their hearts for they are the ones whose hearts will live forever.
