Previous western researches demonstrated that industry-university collaboration not only expedites industrial R&D and innovation but also enhances university’s competitiveness. We find from literature review that American university-industry collaboration emphasize more on the institutional operation in universities. Empirical evidences prove that well managed governmental funding induces private R&D investment and enhance R&D performance. Intermediary institutions are more employed to facilitate university-industry collaboration in Germany and the UK. Thus, this research is aimed at researching on the influences of university-industry collaboration based on its types, scales, and university types. Empirical results show there is positive correlation between a university’s ranking and its university-industry collaboration activities. Universities have better performance than their technological university and technological institute counterparts in both project numbers and scales. Synthesizing empirical results, we demonstrate positive correlation in university-industry collaboration and university competitiveness in Taiwan. Relevant suggestions are discussed in conclusion.
