Abstract
The author summarizes current strategies at the University of Strathclyde in Scotland which respond to the need to collaborate effectively with local small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). These strategies are the results of four key policy strands: networking with local development agencies to improve industrial liaison; licensing IPR to SMEs; supporting initiatives from academic staff who wish to establish an institute or research centre which would address near-market needs of a local industry sector; and encouraging SMEs to collaborate with universities through national and international schemes.
