Abstract

The information technology and the rapid dissemination of knowledge has changed the climate of higher education dramatically. The presence of specially governed technology zones and small and medium enterprises operating in those regions are new actors influencing the teaching models of higher education institutions. This paper discusses how the blending of these can redefine an industry oriented higher education model and what the future projections could be.
