Abstract: The article summarizes results of a mail survey and face-to-face interviews carried in 2016 among the directors of medium-size fast-growing Russian high-tech companies aimed at analysis of intensity, directions, forms, problems and prospects of their cooperation with higher education institutes. Data from 155 questionnaires was complimented with the 15 deep interviews demonstrates that companies prefer to interact with universities in educational sphere while they are most satisfied with their joint research. One of the serious problems is lack of qualification among the university professionals. Despite some problems, the majority of surveyed companies plan to expand their cooperation with higher educational institutes. The surveyed companies believe that the government may help to facilitate university- industry cooperation proposing various financial instruments.
