dc.description.abstractThis paper provides a critical analysis of the commercialization of research in a developing country that is undertaking science and technology policy reforms with an emphasis on the shift from a science-push to an open innovation model. Research commercialization is pivotal for technological advancement, but many innovations fail to reach the market, falling into the so-called "Valley of Death." In Kazakhstan, recent reforms are aimed at overcoming this gap, but the persistence of traditional linear models presents considerable obstacles. Through document analysis and semi-structured interviews, this study explores the nature of these reforms and the barriers encountered by academia and industry in the commercialization process. Theoretically, the study makes a contribution by examining the challenges of shifting from linear innovation models to more complex systems approaches. The findings underscore the difficulty of this transformation in Kazakhstan, highlighting the legacy of the Soviet-era focus on science-push models and the insufficient capacity of local industry to absorb new knowledge. The paper argues that building an effective commercialization pathway requires substantial investment in research infrastructure, capacity building, and regulatory adjustments to facilitate stakeholder collaboration.
