American Experience in the Field of University Technology Commercialization to Support Innovation, Serve Industry & Their Potential Benefit in Egypt

The current research aims at studying the American experience in the field of University Technology Commercialization to Support Innovation & Serve Industry, and reviewing two models of American universities in this area (the University of Texas model at Austin & the University of Missouri model in Colombia,), in order to benefit from them in reaching some proposed mechanisms that can be followed in the Egyptian Universities to improve their practices in this area (in the light of the available circumstances and potentialities). To achieve this objective, Current research used the comparative method (through the use of case study approach) and followed the following procedural steps:
• The first step: defining the general framework of the research (through shedding light on his problem, its Objective, importance, methodology, its limitations, as well as defining the main term in the research).
• Step Two: identifying the intellectual framework for University Technology Commercialization in the light of contemporary educational literature.
• Step Three: Describing of the American experience in the field of University Technology Commercialization in the light of cultural factors, and reviewing models of some American universities.
• Step Four: Describing of most important Egyptian efforts in the field of University Technology Commercialization.
• Step Five: Providing some proposed mechanisms that can contribute to activate University Technology Commercialization activities in Egypt in light of the American experience in this field, and consistent with the Egyptian cultural context.
