[1] While completing his PhD, Adriaens was involved in experts surrounding the biodegradation of PCBs via two strains of bacteria.
[16] For example, Adriaens co-authored the chapter "Teaching Entrepreneurial business strategies in global markets: a comparison of cleantech venture assessment in the US and China" with Timothy Faley, in the 2011 book Entrepreneurship Education in Asia.
[17] In the chapter the authors describe China as the global leader in developing clean energy technology and the critical link that venture capital has played in promoting the success of the industry there.
They also discuss the methodologies behind the university education of entrepreneurs in this region—specifically in the Chinese province of Sichuan, where Adriaens had previously taught.
[20] In March 2011 he also argued for the need of a new business model for US-China competition, in which Chinese investors more "flush with cash" could legitimately invest in U.S. R&D, in a way that both sides find beneficial - in order to trigger positive trade flow from China to the US and help solve IP infringement issues.
