I am hope, that the future is for wise - learned businessmen-scientists. Naturally, not all scientists will become businessmen, but their share in the business will grow and this will only benefit the business. The main thing is that the scientist should have an interest in business with the sports sharpness of the feeling of rapid change.

Entrepreneurs heavily depend and build on knowledge, and can push or pull knowledge.

The entrepreneur does not have to be a scientist per se, but simply be well conected to science, scientists, knowledge.

See my paper on the knowledge use and requirements of entrepreneurs.

A scientist can become a business man or woman. More difficult for a business man or woman to become a scientist ... so what happens is that they create a new world “business science” or “business sciences”.

Starting a business and taking care of it for years, facing all the difficulties, presents a challenge. To classify this task as opposed to that of the scientist presents no basis at all.

Yes, if your eye is always on money, you may not likely take on research work.

Dear Friends and Colleagues of RG,

I fully agree on the above issue. In my opinion, there should be an active cooperation between business and science. I believe that in the economic policy of the state it is necessary to develop the facilitation of the development of clusters and agreements of cooperating enterprises with science centers, with research institutes and universities. Business development should result from scientific knowledge. Businessmen should consult scientists about business development. Scientists are more and more often engaged as consultants working on the needs of business. Entrepreneurs should use the analytical tools developed by scientists, for example in the area of ​​improvement of business analytics tools, developed computerized tools for advanced information processing, eg in Big Data database systems using Business Intelligence analytical platforms. But this is just an example of this type of cooperation between business and science.

On the other hand, it happens more and more often that researchers and scientists start startups or develop research programs, the effect of which is to create a new type of material or technology, innovative solutions. Then, such innovative solutions, which were created in research laboratories, are increasingly implemented in industry. It happens that the state co-finances large research programs, such as space exploration programs. During these high-budget research programs, new technologies are created that are used in the production of many products offered to consumers or become the basis for the creation of new technological solutions implemented in the mass production of various types of products or services.

In addition, new business and economic concepts are developed and developed, such as the concepts of sustainable pro-ecological economic development, the important element of which is the creation and implementation of eco-innovations into the industry, eg the purpose of developing new renewable energy sources. Such processes, whose aim is to reform the energy sector as quickly as possible and convert classic energy sources based on the combustion of minerals to environmentally friendly renewable energy sources are an example of necessary reforms that can be effectively implemented through cooperation of businessmen with scientists and design and implementation of large infrastructure investments and construction of a power plant for the production of electricity as part of the development of renewable energy sources from financial resources of private companies in the financial support of the state.

In connection with the above, there are more and more examples of synergies of development of private or state-supported investment ventures and developing business with the world of science. The state, as part of pro-development state interventionism, should develop its innovation and development policy as a key element of pro-development economic policy, within which it should support, as well as financially and actively, enterprises and the world of science. As part of this activation, facilitations should be created, for example through a system of tax breaks for the development of clusters and agreements between cooperating enterprises and science centers, scientific institutes and universities. This is a particularly important pro-development element in knowledge-based economies.
