Abstract
Technology commercialization is one of the major factors contributing to the economy of a country. The various stages of this process are disclosure of the invention, evaluation of the technology, commercialization in partnership with the industry or creation of a startup company. Protection of intellectual property and licensing arrangements are central to this commercialization process. Currently, research and development in universities and public-funded institutions are not focused on innovations relevant to the industry. The changes that are necessary to improve this at the academic institutions, their organisational setup, the quality of their faculty and their research focus and the policies and initiatives at the national level are discussed in this chapter.
