Abstract
This chapter addresses the strategies followed by Portuguese molecular biology firms to build the networks that are relevant to accessing resources for creation and early development. It examines the conditions that lead start-up companies to search for external providers of key resources and discusses the types of decision they make on the mobilization of pre-existing and new relationships to access these resources, as well as the implications of these decisions on the configuration of firms’ networks.
