Developing University-Industry Relations draws on the experiences of some of the most renowned research universities on the U.S. West Coast and in Canada. Each campus has a solid record of providing a vital resource for the growth of their regional economies through innovative technology transfer and commercialization initiatives with companies such as Hewlett-Packard, Google, Discovery Parks, and Cohen-Boyer. In this book, the authors offer a wealth of exemplary best practices and proven strategies from these forward-thinking institutions. They show what it takes to sustain strong university-industry collaborations that will allow for successful technology transfer.

“Many of the most successful frameworks for university-industry partnerships have emerged from the universities on the West Coast. Miller and Le Boeuf bring together a set of case studies that help to identify the principles that can guide some types of partnerships through the variety of issues they face.

The authors understand that context matters for successful technology transfer offices, and the opening chapter does a good job of identifying the various issues in terms of constraints within which technology transfer operates.

The audience is primarily university administrators and technology transfer professionals, but companies doing business with universities can also gain from seeing how universities can handle their interface.”
