Abstrakt: Universities fulfil three missions in terms of knowledge triangle. One of this missions is in the form of transferring new innovations and technologies to the market by university cooperation with the business sector. The entrepreneurial character of the university forms the basis for cooperation with other subjects of the regional innovation system. Examining the degree of cooperation, factors and barriers affecting the cooperation of academics at the technical university with business sector will help to determine whether and to what extent academics have accepted the university’s business mission. Within the primary research and by applying the orientation analysis we did not obtain relevant information. The analysis of the current state implies the absence of a comprehensive identification of aspects of cooperation between academics working at the university and the business sector. In relation to this research problem we have identified research goals associated with identifying the degree of cooperation, barriers and drivers of cooperation, as well as factors that influence these facts to a decisive extent. In order to identify the decisive factors we used the factor analysis. The input data were derived from a survey conducted at the university. The factor analysis identified a reduced number of aspects that can be considered as the most important aspects of cooperation of university academics with the business sector. The findings from the results of factor analysis can serve the for further research in the field of examining ways of assessing the level of cooperation, measures to support the drivers of cooperation and measures to remove barriers of cooperation.
