ABSTRACT
Figure 1 shows in 2005-2010, the number and amount of China’s university technology transfer contracts are relatively stable. The number of technology transfer contracts reached the highest of 9,159 in 2010; the contracts in 2005 amounted to the highest value of RMB 2,215 million as shown in Figure 2. Regarding the growth of China’s substantial research funding, university technology transfer didn’t increased fast enough. Thus, the development of university technology transfer organizations at this stage is not enough specialized. University technology transfer organizations should focus on the timely delivery of information to guide the development of market demand for
1 INTRODUCTION
In order to promote the development of China’s university technology transfer and train specialized personnel of technology transfer, the relevant state ministries, universities or combined with companies have established all kinds of technology transfer organizations. The forms of China’s university technology transfer organizations vary, but most of them are immature, and the corresponding functions haven’t also reached the necessary level. Generally, the domestic types of technology transfer mechanism can be divided into the types officially recognized by national state department and none-state department. Since September, 2009, the former State Economic and Trade Commission and the Ministry of Education have recognized 10 national technology transfer centers, 7 of which are in university. The State Ministry of Science and Technology and the Ministry of Education have identified 86 national university science parks in eight batches as a support platform for university technology transfer since 2001. In addition, the country has approved and identified 266 national technology transfer demonstration institutions since 2008. Though the technology transfer organizations have been much set up, China’s current transfer rate of scientific and technological achievements is only about 25%, the real industrialization is less than 5%, which shows the efficiency of China’s university technology transfer organizations is expected to be improved.
