        In this paper, the needs of Industry to use modern and high Technologies in order to increase Profitability and competitiveness in national and global markets were discussed. It has been demonstrated that in the current situations, the universities and research institutes are the most reliable source for supplying technology which could produce high added value. Practical solutions, to achieve to the target of producing income from commercialization of the technologies produced by the universities, presented in this article is investigating in producing units or technology providing offices which have active partnership with universities. To perform this idea, the universities could sell their intellectual properties to eligible companies. Management and Funding for this collection, composed of various units in different fields and with different backgrounds, according to this studies and according to the amendment to article 44 of the Iran constitution, the structure of parent companies, Joint Stock Company form and assigning preferred stock to the board of directors of the university is proposed Manuscript profile

        In order to achieve the goals of real and sustainable development, every society needs the interaction and continuous action of two scientific and technical institutions that are formed in the form of universities and industry. Due to the organic relations of these two institutions that form a single system, a violation in each of them causes a violation in the whole system. The present study tries to identify the challenges and barriers of the relationship between industry and academia from the perspective of industry managers and university professors with an interpretive approach. The research approach used is qualitative methodology and ethnographic method has been used to conduct research operations. The data of this study were collected using participatory observation, semi-structured interview technique and document analysis and then combined using triangulation technique. The sampling method used in this study is qualitative-purposeful sampling and using the theoretical saturation index, 15 university professors and 10 industry managers were interviewed as a research sample. Their attitudes and views on the challenges and barriers to communication between industry and academia were examined. The main findings of this study using contextual theory include categories such as weakness in context and support, lack of knowledge and skills, lack of efficient management system, reluctance to communicate, lack of appropriate culture and beliefs, inflexibility of structure. Processes are the inability to network. According to the research, all these categories can be placed under the category of industry-university relationship challenge Manuscript profile

        The foundations of a knowledge-based economy are innovation, technology research and development, which is a costly and risky activity. Given the high cost and risk of technology development, the private sector alone can not do this, and therefore, governments in different countries have developed various institutions and mechanisms to finance innovation. In Iran, about 10 years ago, the discussion of the formation and development of the knowledge-based economy began with the adoption of the "Law on Protection of Companies and Knowledge-Based Institutions and Commercialization of Innovations and Inventions" and an Innovation and Prosperity Fund was set up to finance these companies. In this article, we take a look at the legal basis for the formation of the Innovation and Prosperity Fund and the various approaches and services of this fund in order to support innovation and technology development and thus the realization of the knowledge-based economy in the country.

        The challenge of the relationship between academia and industry is an issue that experts and academics and industry officials have been addressing more and more in recent years and are looking for safe and planned solutions and ways to strengthen this relationship. The relationship between industry and academia has been discussed in the country for several decades, and the first statements of the Supreme Leader in this regard date back to 1990, but what is certain is that there has been no effective relationship between science, academia and industry; Today, more than ever, the structure of science, technology and industry in the country needs to be reviewed and interacted as much as possible, and industry stakeholders must accept the fact that, along with the university, they will be able to fully absorb technology.This is part of His Holiness's statement in a group meeting of university professors, elites and researchers: "We have talked a lot about 'beneficial science'; "That is, the science that solves the problems of the country; the solution of the problems of the country is a beneficial science, that is, it is a scientific confrontation with the various problems that exist in the country." At first glance, perhaps the biggest problem in the communication space between industry, society and academia is the technical issue, but upon entering this space, it is seen that this is not the case in practice, and it seems that lack of information, lack of trust and lack of motivation are the three main pillars. ; Too often, our industry and society are unaware of the capacity and potential of knowledge-based companies, academic companies, and faculty members.In the current era, universities and entrepreneurs have a greater mission and social responsibility in the face of economic development, productivity in production and the creation of sustainable income, and a connection with industry and production. These basic problems led to the presentation of research in this area to be able to be effective in removing existing barriers. One of the most important challenges in the relationship between industry and the university is the academic level of Iran's first-ranked universities, which is at the level of international knowledge, while Iran's industry is at the level of developing countries.

        Today's economy is a knowledge economy, and among them, the role of knowledge-based companies in the development and application of science and in the economic growth and development of present societies as a prominent role is of particular importance. In this regard, universities as the most important vehicle for the production of science due to its special conditions and characteristics, including model and excellence for other institutions and organizations are trying to keep up with the production of science and knowledge in its application through the creation of knowledge based spinn-off companies. But like other activities in this regard, there are still obstacles that despite the efforts of this group of organs has not achieved a good and successful result so far, so this study with the approach of identifying these obstacles tries to take a step towards removing these obstcales and to facilitate the application of knowledge through universities. This research is classified as applied research in terms of purpose and descriptive survey method has been used to collect research data. The data collection tool was a questionnaire that in the first stage of identifying barriers were distributed among 80 people and in the second stage of prioritizing these barriers among experts including 12 faculty members in different fields of Hadishahr Branch of Azad University. In this study, we used factor analysis method to identify barriers in the first stage, which resulted in identifying three categories of environmental, organizational and individual barriers in creating rspin-off companies in university . The results of prioritizing barriers using group AHP method showed organizational barriers is placed in the first place, respectively, environmental barriers are in the second place and individual barriers are in the third place to the establishment of university knowledge-based spin-off companies Manuscript profile
