The analysis of university-industry cooperation (UIC) rarely considers the geographic implications of its promotion. We hypothesise that UIC may lead to a cumulative advantage of already good performers. The 6th EU R&D Framework Programme is a useful empirical source because of its a priori neutrality regarding UIC. With original data on the money involved per participant, we build national indicators of the value of UIC across the EU27. The results confirm that richer countries involved in UIC get more funds than poorer countries. We discuss how complementary policies should not be neutral for the prevention of entry barriers in UIC.
