Abstract: Despite the high innovation potential for universities to play a leading function in regional development, there is an increasing identification of supporting university-business ecosystem. European universities include different types of higher education institutions. Each institution received some sort of external support and extra funding for the application their development and implementation for successful selection at European level. To broaden understanding of cooperation activities, we tried to identify main supporting mechanisms in European success stories. Good practice case studies shared across the institutions are necessary for further observation. In the context of university-business collaboration, this article studies supporting mechanisms which can improve linkages between universities and business. With a sample of 42 case studies, we identified a dominant supporting mechanism in European regions and mutual differences between mechanisms. The main results highlight the relevance of the combination of more than one supporting mechanism which lead to more competitive society and knowledge-based economy.
