Commercialization of new innovative ideas is considered to be one of the main reasons of rapid
technological advances in industrialized countries. In these countries, R&D management,
technology endogeneity, completion of the research cycle through commercialization of
scientific findings foster the economic growth. The intensifying challenge of compatibility in the
global economy has forced policy makers to rethink about their economic development strategies
as they find innovation, entrepreneurship, and knowledge-based businesses as the main building
blocks of competitive advantage. Renewable energy is one of the innovative sectors of energy
industry requiring a paradigm shift for its development. In this paper we use qualitative research
method and interviews with experts to figure out a conceptual model for commercialization of
renewable innovations.
