It is researched that innovation is now a critical factor in the growth of countries and/or regions. Knowledge and technology transfer between academia and industry is expected to accelerate innovation. The collaboration involving academia and industry is a key driver of economic growth. In the global scale, the importance of industrial funding of academic research has grown in the last years, pinpointing the rising relevance of university-industry collaboration for innovation. The boundary between science and technology have become blurred. The universities started to transfer technology by patenting their research and increasing their involvement with industry, especially in Europe. The form of the collaboration evaluate, but the future of the universities is to be close to market. Development of innovative solutions through the collaboration industry enterprises with research institutions is especially important for Polish and Ukrainian universities. The analysis of the innovation shows that there is a lot of space for this kind of collaboration and high potential to start it. The important thing is support this activities through the proper regulation in the university (exemplary taking this kind of collaboration in the researchers assessments) and by the national regulation (supporting low and clear rules). The investment in it will be beneficial in the future for universities, industry enterprises and whole economy.
