| Description | This paper explores the cooperation between academic environments and businesses in Czechia and Taiwan, focusing on their economic structures and the role of universities. Both countries have export-oriented economies, with Czechia specializing in machinery and automotive products and Taiwan in integrated circuits and technology. They are deeply integrated into global supply chains and prioritize developing a skilled workforce. SMEs are vital to both economies, contributing significantly to employment and GDP. The paper highlights the importance of government facilitation and university-industry collaborations in driving innovation and economic growth, drawing lessons from Taiwan's experience to inspire similar advancements in Czechia. Key strategies include the development of science parks, fostering an entrepreneurial culture, and the establishment of germination centers to support early-stage innovation as well as fostering world-class universities, knowledge transfer, licensing and contractual research. |
