This research paper aims to shed light on the partnership between companies and universities through open innovation as a roadmap to foster harmony between them. The importance of this topic is reflected in the potential of this cooperation to achieve a competitive advantage for companies, considering the university as a locomotive for scientific research and the primary generator of knowledge. We employed a descriptive analytical approach to evoke data and information related to the research subject, working to study and analyze it. After studying five (5) leading global models of cooperation between companies and universities, we found that companies pursue various mechanisms to strengthen this partnership. These include establishing research laboratories with academic institutes, launching research initiatives to develop solutions, transferring knowledge from universities through mutual cooperation programs, supporting patents originating from universities, building trust networks, and creating new opportunities for future collaboration.
