What the paper says
The research emphasizes the role of technology scouting and innovation behaviors in the development of the startup ecosystem and in the innovative development of companies and nations. The importance of these factors in relationships between universities and industry is highlighted. The authors consider technology scouting as one of the functions of innovation intermediaries and focus on the concept of innovation intermediary. The study is based on interviews with university and industry representatives to identify barriers in the interaction between the parties (some interviews are made as references). The main barriers in the interaction with universities and industry were noted as differences in goals and key performance indicators, commercialization issues, and bureaucracy. In order to fix these barriers, both sides are supposed to communicate more and make use of high-quality third-party services. Respondents from both industry and university side described the difficulties caused by these barriers.
