This document discusses potential areas of overlap and collaboration between industry and research. It notes that both sectors face challenges like complexity, distributed data and resources, and budget restrictions. Collaboration could help by increasing impact, addressing research challenges, and pushing technological limits. An example is provided of CERN's long-standing collaboration with Oracle to manage its large data sets and ensure high availability for particle physics research worldwide. The document argues that identifying shared problems, setting clear expectations, and starting with pilot partnerships can help industry and research find an overlapping region of mutual benefit.
