Abstract

University and industry collaborative relationships are now widely practiced in many countries and are increasingly important in some developing countries. This paper aims to show what is similar and what is different about the relationships between how universities interact with industrial firms in developing as contrasted with advanced industrial economies. We report some initial findings from our research project conducted in Sri Lanka. Our survey of universities and some industry representatives shows that although universities might lack infrastructure, skills and resources required to fully support academic entrepreneurship, there is evidence of some interesting collaborative initiatives starting up. We also present some suggestions for promoting these types of interactions based on evidence gathered from holding a mini workshop with staff representing a variety of different industry sectors.
