A lot of academic research is going on. These research leads to degrees,publications and patents. However transfer of useful technology to industry is limited. Big industries have their own R&D set up to develop market ready products. How academic-industry interface can be improved? Is there any successful model followed worldwide?
I believe the system is corrupted by the governement funding programms.
In their good-will beliefs, the politics have been caught themselves in their system. The fundings are a necessary condition today for industry to go on (risk) with a university topic. Even the largest (richest) of them won't do nothing without some side funding from public organisations. Woh, do not tell them they do not need any subvention, the answer will be, they will have to cut-off employment if subsidies were not granted. they have to keep on the high-tech level, but the globalised economy is so tough that they can only survive with the subsidies of the public.
The public (we, the politicians) are caught in this 'blackmailing' of the rich.. and today they are anyway too big to fail...
Lab scale politics should be researched on.. how to get out of this.. get the economy back to something which is privat...
then we talk again about progress..
