Industrial-Academic Collaboration Context: Technology Development in Electronics

摘要

This paper introduces an industrial-academic collaborative framework in the electronics industry focusing particularly on the research of printable electronics in Finland. Industrial-academic collaboration is an efficient way to accelerate and diversify the progression of novel technological solutions, educate new multidisciplinary professionals, and incubate new business. However, setting up multidisciplinary industrial-academic collaboration is a demanding task, as it involves facing challenges such as communication and the sharing of intellectual property rights, defining common targets that all participants can commit to, and funding and benefits.
