Abstract

Resource constraint is one of the most important issues policymakers face with. Hence the financing limitations of entrepreneurs have always been one of the main concerns of government officials and policymakers. The answer to these constraints is the need to understand the financing policy framework for entrepreneurship. Since the purpose of this study is the provision of technopreneurship financing policies, the systematic review of policies in this area has been gathered and reviewed. In this qualitative study, using the grounded theory analysis, the framework of these policies is counted. Owing to the newness of interdisciplinary studies in this area, technopreneurship requires attention to and development of the studies related to this knowledge. Reviewing the trend of technopreneurship financing polices studies, one of the most important achievements of this study is the provision of a technopreneurship financing polices framework in six conceptual areas.
