Increasing number and scope of collaborations between companies and universities will improve industrial performance in the U.S., according to a report by the National Academies' National Academy of Engineering. The report assesses the relationship between academic research and industrial performance in four sectors: network systems and communications, having a history of capitalizing on innovations from academic research; medical devices and equipment industry, which has taken the advantage of multidisciplinary research at universities; distribution and logistics services industry with less impact of the academic research.
