Abstract— In today's dynamic and rapidly evolving business landscape, industry-academia collaboration has emerged as a pivotal driver of innovation, knowledge exchange, and sustainable growth. However, the effective integration of diverse expertise and the alignment of contrasting goals between industries and academia present substantial challenges. In this paper, a novel approach to enhancing industry-academia collaboration through the utilization of the TRIZ Techoptimizer 3.0 tool. Theory of Inventive Problem Solving (TRIZ) is a wellestablished methodology that empowers problem-solving and innovation by identifying inventive principles derived from analysis of patents and successful innovations across various domains. The TRIZ Techoptimizer 3.0 tool is the latest iteration of this methodology, incorporating advanced algorithms and a comprehensive knowledge base to systematically address complex challenges.The primary objective of this study is to propose the integration of the TRIZ Techoptimizer 3.0 tool as a facilitator of seamless industry-academia collaboration. By leveraging the tool's capabilities to analyze and resolve intricate problems, both industrial and academic partners can effectively collaborate to bridge the gap between theoretical insights and practical implementations.
