As a result, several forms of relationship were developed. Among these technopark concepts has emerged as a form of university-industry interaction in developed countries. The main objective of technoparks is to help commercialization of the results of research and development activities through technology based small enterprices. In relation to that, the purpose of this study is to determine how the university-industy relationship and technopark can be realized effectively in Turkey. The data for this study were collected from the industry administrators about AR-GE and university administrators by means of questionnaire.
