On receiving the award at the Babson College Entrepreneurship Research Conference in Texas, Daniel said: ‘I am extremely humbled to receive this prize. I see this as a testament to how our work in the major programmes area is informing new perspectives on how the systems built within and around these programmes support novel innovation and entrepreneurial activity.’

Daniel has published in some of the world’s leading business journals - including Organization Science and the Strategic Management Journal - and some of the world’s leading scientific journals, including Nature Energy, Nature Sustainability, and the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. His latest paper – published in Organization Science – explores the idea that physical bridges may help link people, ideas, resources and knowledge together, which may in turn increase high-tech entrepreneurship.
