Abstract

The purpose of this study is to measure the spillover effect of university-industry collaboration on regional growth industries and identify the factors that contribute to it, based on the framework presented to the American Council on Competitiveness in the United States. As a research method, multiple regression analysis was performed using the results of industry-academia collaboration at the universities as an input index, and the indicators such as the IT industry and biotechnology industry in the area where the university is located as output indexes by dividing them into four categories. The four categories are “Idea Generation”, “Idea Development”, “Productivity”, and “Prosperity”. As a result of the analysis, although the overall scale of industry-academia collaboration is still small and the direct stimulating effect on the regional economy is limited, the input of the universities contributes to the development of a specific industry and the motivation to start a business. The effect of promoting Idea Generation and Idea Development in the region was confirmed. In addition, both positive and negative impacts of university-industry-academia collaboration activities on the improvement of productivity of regional growth industries and the contribution of growth industries to regional Prosperity were supported.
