Identification of the Reverse Path of Science and Technology Intermediary in Innovation Activities

Qiaoyan LIN

Abstract


One of the important functions of science and technology intermediary is to focus on the SME market demand to guide research and development in universities and research institutes, which is needed not only for social development, but also for the transition of China’s economic development to the domestic demand-led growth. Thus, “cloud model” and “Dandelion model” can be the expanded function of science and technology intermediary. The development of this reverse path can enhance the position of “industry” in the relations among industry, university and research.


Keywords
