Abstract

University–enterprise cooperation considers an active and efficient cooperation of the scientists, industry and the government. The university is a significant actor in this model as it not only produces knowledge, but also creates new opportunities, protects intellectual property and converts the research outcomes into a market attractive product. This cooperation ensures that educational programs equip students with the relevant competences, and entails research suited to the demand of the market and the government. This implementation helps the university realize its third mission – serve the country and support its economic development. This paper presents our attempt to describe the role of the regional government in the university– enterprise cooperation based on a regional university in Georgia. Despite the various studies regarding university–enterprise cooperation implemented in Georgia mainly dealing with single components of the cooperation, we tried to highlight the significance of the government in this cooperation and its authentic character.
