"University-local industry linkages: the case of Tohoku University in the Sendai area of Japan"

“This paper focuses on Tohoku University in Sendai in the non metropolitan area of Japan. Both a long historical and comparative perspective and a spatial 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.”
