Wild Card's description
Research interests of Universities do not meet the needs of Industry and there is a large divide between industries wanting to work with Academic institutions. This lack of technology transfer leads to industry-led research in the private sector and a complete breakdown of working relationships with Universities. The financial loss to Universities is catastrophic.
