The importance of industry-academia collaboration, especially joint research, has been pointed out for many years. In this paper, the factors of the increase in collaborative research, which is considered to be the reason why collaborative research is regarded as important, are considered. Next, I will examine the relationship between the scale of joint research and the government's measures to strengthen industry-academia collaboration. However, the current government survey data is not sufficient to analyze the factors that stimulate industry-academia collaboration. It is important to acquire the data that enables these analyzes. Finally, I will consider the future of joint research based on economic conditions and social changes.
