No, but it has to start there. That's simply not true. There's a loop: sometimes, industry comes up with a specific innovation, and academia generalized it; other times, academia comes up with an idea, and it's implemented in industry (often a commercialisation effort by the inventors). And sometimes academics are employed by industry and there's a hybrid. There's no one true way.
