   Simple: if you don't publish your work, we don't fund you. Why is this even a question?

      This is about cooperation before publishing results. And they will keep everything medieval secret, else some big company steals it and claims it their own.

         So then the solution is to publish more often (e.g. on a public blog) even if your ideas are not fully developed in order to establish priority and show you are doing something.

         Analogously with software development, it's always been good practice to write things down, but since the start of this year it's become dramatically more important for everyday work.

            I don’t follow… if you publish your underdeveloped ideas, these companies will develop them for you, which is the problem

               And they won't credit you.
