Tripartite collaboration has become increasingly important in response to changing market needs and priorities. Industry is motivated to take advantage of R&D seeds and other resources possessed by universities for the development of new products and processes. Universities have also strong motives to collaborate, not only to vitalize their educational R&D activities but also to gain financial income. Government is required to foster an environment that promotes industry and academia linkages to strengthen national competitiveness. The promotion of tripartite collaboration often forms an intellectual creation cycle. Industries obtain patent rights for R&D outputs produced by universities.
