Entrepreneurial University83 (Institute for Private Enterprise and Democracy 2009) Project presents results of the survey of Polish companies concerning their expectation from HE institutions. Companies expect advice on utilisation of the new technology, cooperation in further development of new technology, consultancy on implementation of the research results and invitation to joining research project. This kind of cooperation was scored 4+ in 6 point scale. Companies were less interested in training of managers or preparation of the staff for developed new technologies. These kinds of cooperation were evaluated 3+ in 6 point scale. Results showed, that Polish businesses expect more cooperation in research than in training of future employees.
