UIIN

These proceedings are a gateway into the vibrant exchange of knowledge and innovation that unfolded at the 2018 University-Industry Interaction Conference. Within these pages, we bring you a collection of 26 papers that illuminate the ever-evolving landscape of university-industry engagement.

Our academic papers delve into a rich tapestry of subjects, from mechanisms for academic-industry knowledge transfer to the Quadruple Helix Innovation Index emphasizing interaction in regional innovation. We explore the role of entrepreneurial ecosystems in higher education, the economic impact of entrepreneurship programs, and the potential of nudging for engaged universities. These academic insights offer valuable perspectives on shaping the future of collaboration.

In the practitioner track, we gain insights from the front lines of university-industry interaction. From building entrepreneurship programs to establishing industry-university cooperation on startup principles, from enhancing the innovation process in B2B contexts to fostering long-term strategic partnerships, these papers showcase practical strategies that drive innovation, entrepreneurship, and economic growth.

As you delve into these proceedings, we extend our gratitude to the authors, reviewers, and participants who have contributed to this dynamic exchange of ideas and experiences.
