PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP (PPP) IN R&D is the collaborative functioning of Public sectors (Universities, Research Labs, and Public Funded Agencies) and Private sectors (Industries), involving sharing of finances, risks and benefits among the two entities.

The collaborations between public and private sector R&D can happen in various areas such as research programmes, scale up studies, technology development, technology testing, commercialization programme, financial investments and skill development programmes. In the 20th century, the public private collaborations were more generic in nature for bringing in novel innovations. In the last three decades, the major focus of PPP has shifted towards strategic innovations.
