AbstractObjective: The aim of this paper is to present the long-term development of the chosen human capital indices that uncovers and compares the outcome of the national efforts performed by the two culturally distant countries (China and Poland) over the decade. Additionally, paper indicates the areas of further HC progress in both nations.Methodology: The study was based on measuring human capital with the help of deliberately chosen set of macroeconomic indices (28 items) referring to the nations’ capability to create innovations. Analysis was performed for the 2007–2017 years.Findings: Positive phenomena in the case of human capital development outperform the negative ones in both countries, however, the extent is more remarkable in the case of China. China managed to: improve greatly the pupil-teacher ratio (both in primary and secondary schools), increase secondary and tertiary education enrolment rate along with the rise of the no. of students from abroad. In Poland, the greatest increase was observed in the case of the number of researchers what consequently contributed to the improvement of number of scientific and technical articles and citable documents (h-index).Value Added: To the best Author’s knowledge this is the first paper that compares national human capital development in Poland and China with a set of indices focused on capability to create innovations and adopts longitudinal approach.Recommendations: Policy-makers in the case of Poland should concentrate on: fostering university/industry research collaboration, improving rank in worldwide QS classification and performing more efforts to attract and retain talents. Moreover, the negative trends should be reversed with regard to: PISA scores and general quality of education system. In turn, Chinese authorities should facilitate better PISA scores and increase the presence of scientific and technical articles.

In this age of technology-led development and stiff international competition over Intellectual Property Rights (IPRs), developing countries, with their limited financial capabilities, face the challenge of creating appropriate environment that could facilitate the creation and commercialisation of technologies. The recognition of poor scientific outputs as a hindrance to the growth of domestic industry has brought research on the development agenda. This article focuses on university–industry research collaborations as one of the ways to kick-start innovation-led economic growth in India. It explores the evolution of relevant policy paradigm in India and presents the relevant highlights of National IPR Policy 2016. It identifies the impediments in the way of creative university–industry collaborations and offers solutions to attain optimum synergy between the academia and industry.

This chapter describes the Maryland Industrial Partnerships (MIPS) program, its genesis, operations, record, and impact. Founded in 1987, MIPS provides funding, matched by participating companies, for university-based research projects that help Maryland companies develop new products. Startup companies find the program attractive in leveraging their scarce resources in a non-dilutive, non-debt manner and effective in enlisting expert faculty and students in developing their company products. The State of Maryland finds the MIPS program attractive because of its significant economic impact and its high-multiple return of tax dollars to the State. The University System of Maryland faculty have embraced the program for the industry collaborations created and research funding provided. The effectiveness of the MIPS program is greatly enhanced by Maryland's robust innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystem built up over decades, a build-up whose acceleration coincided with the 1983 creation of MIPS' parent organization, now known as the Maryland Technology Enterprise Institute.
