 Araştırma ve Geliştirmeye (AR-GE) dayanan teknolojik değişiklikler ve yenilikler hem firma hem de ülkeler için rekabet düzeyini ve ekonomik büyümeyi arttırmada hayati bir rol oynamaktadır. Bu nedenle Ar-Ge’de üniversite-sanayi işbirliği, yenilikçi firmaların büyümesinde önemli rol oynamaktadır. Bu bağlamda, bu çalışmanın ana amacı Ar-Ge’deki üniversite-sanayi işbirliğinin yenilikçi firmaların büyümesine etkisini incelemektir. Ampirik sonuçlara göre, Ar-Ge’de üniversite sanayi işbirliğinin seviyesi arttıkça, yenilikçi şirketlerin büyüme ortalaması artmaktadır. Sonuç olarak, hem firma hem de ülkeler için sürdürülebilir rekabet düzeyini ve ekonomik büyümeyi arttırmada Ar-Ge’de üniversite endüstri işbirliğini güçlendirmek çok önemlidir.
