Technology Transfer from Academic to The Real Sector of The Economy: Barriers and Possible Solutions

The possibilities of solving a key problem that hinders the development of multifaceted and long-term cooperation between universities and research institutes with industrial partners are considered in connection with the prospects for the development of technology transfer centers that received grants from the Ministry of Education of Russia in 2021. The main contradictions, systemic problems and mechanisms for building interaction between the academic and industrial sectors of the economy are highlighted. Foreign and Russian practices of building cooperation, issues of trust and mutual understanding, the possibility of removing barriers to marketing and quality, creating a network structure for transfer management are analyzed. A fundamentally new perspective of state support for the transfer of research and development results is shown, which is opened by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of March 17, 2022 № 392. For the first time, a model of interaction between corporations and technology companies implementing projects with the participation of universities and research institutes aimed at finalizing and creating products has been created under the guarantees of large customers.
