application-oriented
Explanation:
"wirtschaftsnah" is often used as a synonym for "anwendungsorientiert" - e.g.

"Wirtschaftsnahe Forschung:
Die anwendungsorientierte Forschung ist eine zentrale Aufgabe im FPL. ..."
http://www.fpl.uni-stuttgart.de/Forschung/forschung.html

"Miscellaneous. We have interests in a wide range of research areas,
from fundamental to application-oriented research. Projects. ..."
nlp.shef.ac.uk/research/research.html

It might sound better if you put the institutes first:

"Institutes engaged in application-oriented R&D"
