How should there be an active cooperation between business and science? How should the development of clusters and agreements between cooperating enterprises and science centers, scientific institutes and universities be facilitated in the economic policy of the state?
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.
Do you agree with my opinion on this matter?
In view of the above, I am asking you the following question:
Should business cooperation with science develop? How to support the development of business cooperation with science? How should there be an active cooperation between business and science? How should the development of clusters and agreements between cooperating enterprises and science centers, scientific institutes and universities be facilitated in the economic policy of the state?

Dear Dariusz Prokopowicz The relationship between science and business has been evolving. However, the interaction between the two has not always been so smooth. There is a lot of misunderstanding or a difference in expectations on either side. Increasingly, businesses rely on research to develop new solutions. However, the disconnect between the pace of industry and that of research and innovation has to be improved. The below mentioned link throws some light on the ways how it can be improved:

Thanks!
This is a very good discussion and not solved yet at all. I think the cooperation needs to be benefit for both parties: academy and practitioners. For that, both sides should be opened mind to discuss ideas and solutions generating researches that add real value to both sides
It is interesting to have a legal framework that favors such interaction. In Universities and Study Centers, the culture of relationship with the private sector must be fostered.
The development of business cooperation with science could be based mainly on the areas of interface, which relate science with companies and governments and civil society organizations, that is to say that in each sector act interlocutors who know how to speak the different Languages in understandable form, both of science, business and governments, also attending to the times of each of them, to link scientific knowledge and innovations to companies with the facilitation of governments.
It is one of the best Art..
Factors to consider..
Innovation and customer service with modern technology/Scientific principles.
Dear Friends and Colleagues of RG,
In the context of the above considerations, I also propose the following research problem:
In what areas of science will innovative technologies implemented in business be created in the 21st century?
In which areas of science will innovative technologies be created in the 21st century, which should quickly be applied in industry and / or business?
Some scientific achievements are quickly used in business. These are primarily modern, innovative technologies created in technical sciences, in the field of biotechnology, business analytics, computer science, materials science, ecology, astronautics, etc.
In view of the above, I am asking you the following question: In which areas of science will innovative technologies be created in the 21st century, which should quickly be applied in industry and / or business?
Please reply
I invite you to the discussion
Thank you very much

In my opinion, the scope and possibilities of business cooperation with the world of science are constantly growing, especially in the areas of technical sciences, biotechnology, energy, materials science, information technology, ecology, etc. and in the development of innovations, patents and inventions created in various fields of technology, technology, etc. .
Do you agree with me on the above matter?
In the context of the above issues, the following question is valid: Does the scope and possibilities of business cooperation with the world of science increase or decrease?
Please reply
I invite you to the discussion
Thank you very much

Yes.i agree.
With no doubt business cooperation with the world of science is increases only.
Because business incorporated innovative and scientific principles.. Based on enduser demands.

Strengthening the interface organs and the instruments of technological linkage would be a good point to start this process and / or strengthen it
First of all , you need to build a trust with industry . ie. to prove that you are as an organisation cabable to solve thier problems. This usually done through funded scientific research from a University. then after few successful projects they trust you and give you more challenging projects with full fund. In developed countries : Science Parks is an example of successful relation beteen science and industry. This is impossible without support of the university decision makers.
The demands of the industry need more and more support from the Academy to be resolved. The relationship atmosphere should be as smooth as possible to allow both sides of the alliance to win.
One of the instruments for promoting the results of scientific research and, creating interdisciplinary research teams and supporting the cooperation of the world of science and business is organizing and / or participating in scientific conferences. Currently, due to the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 pandemic (causing Covid-19 disease), it has accelerated the process of digitizing organizations and conducting scientific conferences. Unfortunately, conferences conducted remotely in the form of Videoconferencing are no longer the same as analogous conferences conducted traditionally, stationary in the infrastructure of specific scientific institutions, universities, etc. They have their positive but also negative aspects in comparison with traditionally organized conferences. Scientific conferences play a special role in the development of science. They enable the presentation of the results of the latest scientific research, interesting new concepts and trends developing in specific fields and scientific disciplines. They make it possible to conduct debates and discussions on interesting, current topics of conducted research works, etc. Video conferences organized now more often replace in many respects conferences organized traditionally, but not always to the full extent.

Moments like the pandemic underscore the importance of cooperation. Good research projects need private support. Agencies linked to universities and other mechanisms work to bridge this gap.
Hello everyone, thank you very much for participating in this discussion. In my opinion, the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus pandemic (causing the Covid-19 disease) should contribute to the growth of the scale of the development of effective cooperation between the scientific community and commercial enterprises. For example, collaboration of scientists conducting research in laboratories specializing in scientific research on immunology, virology, microbiology, etc. to create a vaccine for the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus, which, after development and testing, will be produced in commercial pharmaceutical companies. This, of course, is only an example of the development of this type of cooperation between the world of science and the world of business. This type of development of cooperation will probably also take place in other areas of the pharmaceutical, medicine, cosmetology, production of antiviral disinfectants and other anti-pandemic safety instruments, and also in some other sectors and branches of the economy.
In view of the above, I would like to add the following question to this discussion: In what other sectors and branches of the economy may there be a significant increase in cooperation between the world of science and the world of business due to the development of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus pandemic?
What do you think about this topic?
What is your opinion on the above issue?
Thank you very much,
Dariusz Prokopowicz
Dear Dariusz!
Dear all!
It depends.
The answer to this topical question depends largely on business representatives.
Charity and philanthropy in many respects reflect business calculations for a positive growth in the credibility of companies in the eyes of society. But in the era of the pandemic, financial opportunities for philanthropists declined sharply.
Practice shows that only when an unfavorable event affects the interests of business, then only then does business become interested in attracting science to solve pressing issues.
There are still issues affecting the threat to the health of business representatives, then business also tries to choose innovative technologies to solve life-fatal issues.
Unfortunately, the conditions for charity in the era of a pandemic among companies declined due to financial problems.
Yes, our discussion shows that there are many factors, many determinants of the possibility of supporting the development of cooperation between economic entities, research centers, and institutions of the world of science.
Best regards,
Dariusz Prokopowicz
Dear Sule Akkoyunlu,
Yes, public policy under which good conditions for cooperation are created under public-private partnership is an important factor in the development of cooperation between science institutions and other entities, including business entities.

Business can always offer real life solutions and professional development advice. Science when integrated with business, can be powerful enough to make a significant change in people lives.
This Strategy was designed by employers to identify and address the current and future skills challenges facing the scientific industries.
It sets out the Science Industry Partnership’s (SIP’s) objectives and calls on Government, industry and education providers to work together to deliver collaborative skills solutions. The ambition is to maximise the potential of the UK talent base to meet demand and to drive growth through innovation and flexibility. The analysis presented here shows that there are important quantity and quality issues that need addressing across the entire workforce. This observation leads in turn to important implications for prioritisation and targeting. The SIP Skills Strategy translates these development needs into six strategic objectives. Together these should form the basis of our future skills work...

This discussion shows that the cooperation between business and science is determined by various factors. In addition, the dominant thesis is that the state needs to create good conditions for the development of cooperation between science institutions and business entities within the framework of enterprise policy, innovation policy, activation of scientific research development, support for the development of scientific research, etc.

We need new cooperation goals and a new outlook on co-creative cooperation between science and industry if we are to make substantial progress in this transformation process. Companies of all kinds – from established corporations and SMEs to start-ups and self-employed social entrepreneurs – have the know-how, financial resources, practical knowledge and implementation expertise needed to reorient societies towards sustainable development. The growing success of the common good economy shows how the targeted use of these resources can advance transformations towards more sustainable societies. https://www.iass-potsdam.de/en/blog/2020/05/new-forms-cooperation-between-science-and-business
Future collaboration between entrepreneurs and science should explore and embrace new forms of cooperation. This is not simply a matter of enhancing the availability of scientific knowledge to companies interested in developing marketable products. Nor is it a matter of contract research, or technology transfer. These forms of cooperation are already practised and have their own advantages. Instead, the transformation towards sustainability needs a new and above all more advanced form of cooperation – "Cooperation 2.0", if you will. https://www.iass-potsdam.de/en/blog/2020/05/new-forms-cooperation-between-science-and-business
Dear Chinaza Godswill Awuchi,
Yes, I agree with you that the development of cooperation between entrepreneurs and science should include new research topics, should include new forms of cooperation, and should be open to new technological solutions, e.g. in the field of new online media facilitating remote communication. This is especially important in the context of the current SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19) coronavirus pandemic.
