University – industry collaboration

« A succesfull university-industry collaboration should support the

mission of each partner. Any effort in conflict with the mission of

either partner will ultimately fail. » 

University - the education of students, the creation of

Knowledge, and the dissemination of knowledge

Industry - to create value for investors, provide usefull goods and

services, and expand the state of art
