Abstract
This paper uses Waterford Institute of Technology (WIT) (now part of South East Technological University, SETU) as a case study to explore the extent to which graduates from HEIs contribute to the innovative capability and capacity in the region in which they are educated. The overall focus is on how HEIs contribute to regional human capital and knowledge endowments in their own and neighbouring regions through retention, inflows and outflows. When these impacts happen, as in the case of WIT, HEIs contribute to the growth and development of high-tech, knowledge-driven, high-growth enterprises in their home region.
