In the meeting, students of Zhejiang University and the DKST ITB discussed various challenges in connecting college research to industrial needs. One of the issues discussed is that there are still gaps in bringing research from the academic environment to implementation and utilization directly in the industrial sector.

The discussion also highlights that the process of hiprising technology is not only dependent on the readiness of research results, but it also needs to consider the orientation and industry needs. In many cases, industry tends to prioritize solutions that can answer the current business needs, while research-based technology development often requires investment and vision for the intermediate to long-term.

It's a challenge to encourage the birth of innovation that is not only academically superior, but also relevant and has the opportunity to be widely applied. Therefore, it takes a much tighter collaboration between college, industry, government, and other interests, so that the direction of research development can be more consistent with industry needs and answers to future challenges.

Meeting also talks about the importance of policy support and ecosystem innovation in long-term technology development. That support became one of the most important factors in encouraging investment in new technologies, strengthening research collaboration with college, and accelerating the process of transforming research into products, services, and solutions that would benefit society.
