There has been a universal recognition that university-industry research collaboration (UIRC) is vital to strengthen the national innovation system (NIS) and economic growth. Despite series of research evidences of the significance of (UIRC), current baseline models to enhance the capabilities of NIS through URIC is still scarce, specifically in developing countries. This research has highlighted that absorptive capacity has a vital influence national innovation system as well as on research and innovative activities of an individual. Moreover, this research highlights how education and training can enrich absorptive capacity of (NIS) and (UIRC) using the Theory of Inventive Problem Solving (TRIZ) approach. The methodology involves applying TRIZ tools such as function modelling, contradiction analysis, and inventive principles to identify effective strategies for improving absorptive capacities of universities and industries and consequently of NIS. Thus, proposed solutions include enhancing education and training system and programs, promoting collaboration between universities and industries, and decreasing aids like foreign educated and skilled workforce (FESW) can strengthen the absorptive capacity of NIS. Analysis of this research suggests that strong education and training system and upgrading standard of education are crucial factors for improving absorptive capacity of NIS. Recommendations include developing policies that fostering a culture of knowledge, promoting interdisciplinary research and incentivize innovation. Future research directions include exploring the comparative analysis with other developed and developing country’s strategies in customizing the education and research system to enhance the outcomes of research and innovations.
