A firm's competitiveness today is built above all upon technologies. On new technologies, which originate in universities and research centres. Any firm that is unable to obtain them and make good use of them will quickly lose its competitive advantage. How is it possible to avoid this situation and create a functional model of co-operation between science and business? Learn about this in the contribution by Jiří Navrátil.
