Theoretical Thinking and Transformation Strategies of Research Universities Empowering Regional Innovative Development:A Case Study of Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area
As an important part of the regional innovation system in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area,research universities should play a key supporting role in promoting regional innovation.However,the current situation is that the dominant forces of the regional innovation system are still enterprises and governments,and the role of research universities in it needs to be further enhanced.Based on the triple helix and regional innova-tion ecosystem theories and the qualitative analysis of the interview materials,this paper analyses the main compon-ents of the innovation system of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area,focuses on the positioning and role of research universities,and then analyses the factors that hinder the roles of research universities in the Greater Bay Area innovation system in terms of the production of knowledge,the transformation and diffusion of re-search and development,and the construction of human capital.Finally,it is proposed to strengthen the important role of research universities in the development of the innovation region of the Greater Bay Area by improving the talent evaluation and incentive system,bridging the talent flow between universities and enterprises,and innovating the mode of talent cultivation.
