I'm not sure that it is just lack of interest in commercialisation, though that does exist. I think that the academy and industry work in different scale. In the industry low risk short term project have high value. The academy aims for novelty which usually means high risk and longer terms. Companies that aim to high risk longer term are usually either start up that that project is their core or large companies that can afford failing 9 out of 10 projects and have the benefit form the others to return the investment in 5 years.
