Development models,main achievements,and experience reference of overseas science and technology intermediary service industries
To explore the successful development models of overseas science and technology intermediary service industries and examine their relevance for the growth of the Chinese science and technology intermediary service sector,this study analyzes four key models:the market-oriented approach in the United States,the diversified hybrid model in the United Kingdom,the industry associations and technology transfer centers in Germany,and the government-driven model in Japan.It also systematically summarizes the operational outcomes of science and technology intermediary institutions in these four countries and investigates the future development path for the domestic sector.The findings reveal that a conducive policy and legal environment,diversified funding support,active cultivation of market entities,and strengthened infrastructure such as networking are fundamental to ensuring the healthy development of science and technology intermediary institutions.The research highlights that,within the broader context of building China into a world leader in science and technology and achieving high-level self-reliance in science and technology,the domestic sector should fully leverage the roles of government,market,and society.A combination of strategies,such as a market-driven operational system,diversified funding sources,socially-oriented services,professional institutional frameworks,integrated service capabilities,industrialized service methods,networked organizational structures,and scientific performance evaluations-should be adopted to foster sustainable growth.
