Abstract
Although there are only low levels of university-industry interaction at this point (2009) in India, the study suggests that firms which collaborated with universities and Public Research Institutions (PRIs) achieved a higher level of innovative ability. The article discusses the important channels of innovation transmission as perceived by firms; the status of university-industry interaction and driving factors; industry/firm level characteristics of interaction; and analyzes the innovative outcomes of such interactions. The study is based on two surveys, one involving 460 firms and the other involving 735 professors/scientists employed in universities, technical colleges, and publicly funded research institutes.
