The idea of a "gap" between research done in academia and its translation into marketable products certainly is not new. What is new are the steps some academic institutions and companies are taking to bridge that gap.
The ingredients for successful strategic partnerships were discussed by panelists at an event called "Bridging the Innovation Gap Between Academia and Industry,".
We work in close collaboration with organisations to turn ideas and innovation into reality. By doing just this, we transform people, organisations and the global economy.
With the expertise to take R&D projects from concept through to delivery, we conduct and exploit emerging research, applying it to address the reallife needs of industry. IETM combines world class facilities with the very best practitioners, helping to set the agenda for future technologies in the business sectors in which we specialize.
IETM consider collaboration with external partners as an important and strategic mission. Collaboration ensures that IETM’s researchbased knowledge and technologies are being disseminated to the society. Industrial collaboration is a key access for DTU researchers to the research and innovation agenda in the business community.
Private and public companies can utilize the student’s knowledge and research by providing traineeship and joint research project for the students.
