The core theme of this work is to explore barriers to R&D collaborations that can lessen the tendencies to make joint R&D clusters among public–private research organizations and academic institutes. 20th century was loaded with heaps of barriers hindering the cooperation behaviors. 21st century was the ingress to more complexities in science, technologies and rapid innovations in practical applications of science to commerce and industry. More solutions have been considered to overcome these obstacles. Shifting balance from barriers to incentives has steered the organizations to establish more articulated R&D environment. The author has used the researchers’ binoculars to probe into the phenomenon of U-I Collaborations and factors for its sustainability. The aim of this research is to highlight those factors that can lead business moguls and faculty tycoons towards successful U-I collaborations and its sustainable growth to meet the innovation challenges. This study will also direct the intentions towards the barriers triggering the firms to chaos state. Findings in this research highlights the reasons behind the growing trends of U-I collaborations. Author has concluded that if the complementary barriers are exploited to create synergies, U-I Collaborations are more productive. Barriers and incentives for U-I collaborations both are mandatory to consider for sustainable growth of joint ventures among academia and industry. For a balance among these two factors, author has proposed a U-I collaboration model for long term execution of R&D projects in an articulated R&D intensive environment.
