Title: University-local industry linkages
Description: "This paper focuses on Tohoku University in Sendai in the nonmetropolitan area of Japan.  Both a long historical and comparative perspective and a spacial perspective are essential to discuss the relevance of university-local industry linkages to local regional economic development.  The conjunction of these linkages and economic development has been affected by two evolutionary processes: institutional configurations and territorial dynamics in the national innovation system.  In addition, university-local industry linkages have been complicated by top-down regionalization and bottom-up regionalism. "--World Bank web site.
