University-industry Collaboration In The Innovation Process In Algeria: Reality And Actions For Improvement

Résumé: University-industry collaboration is one of the main sources of shared knowledge and technologies outside the industrial sector, particularly in the context of innovation. This paper aims to identify the most important potential factors that help companies and universities in Algeria use collaboration to innovate successfully. This research falls within the descriptive analytical studies. By conducting an analytical study on the Global Innovation Index for Algeria during the period 2019–2022, it was found that this indicator is weak compared to the global average and to economies in Northern Africa and Western Asia. It was also found that the contribution of university-industry collaboration to this indicator is not significant. Through these results, a set of measures was proposed, the most important of which is considering university-industry collaboration as a basic mission for universities and a necessity for industry, creating a climate of trust, and providing support from social partners.
