Abstract
This report seeks to contribute to our understanding of the business perspective on university-business cooperation (UBC) in the Czech Republic. Examining the perceptions of a wide range of businesses shows an important momentum for UBC and positive signs for the future, with 98% of businesses that cooperate with universities planning to maintain or increase their cooperation in the future.
In recent years, the conditions for UBC have stabilised and are gradually improving in the Czech Republic. It is evident from a development of a more supportive environment, including legislative and financial initiatives.
Yet, more still can be done in assisting businesses with the development of further mechanisms and activities that can facilitate their cooperation efforts.
