A research on transformation mechanism of scientific and technological achievements and the countermeasures: In case of Zhejiang province in China

During the Eleventh Five-year Plan, Zhejiang Province had taken the lead in economic and social development in China. Especially, scientific and technological development is ranking top among all provinces and municipalities directly under the Central Government in China. A great number of research fields are domestically or even globally leading. Scientific and technological achievements transformation plays a crucial role in the regional economic development.

The comparison with several provinces and municipalities directly under the Central Government with advanced scientific and technological development reveals the shortages in the scientific and technological achievements transformation process. Finally the related countermeasures are proposed to boost the scientific and technological achievements transformati
