This is round table.
In China.
While universities are hotbeds of creativity and research, the actual commercialization of their inventions remains disappointingly low.
Why the disconnect from university inventions to the marketplace?
And from from uplifting tunes to unforgettable experiences were sharing the happiness that lit up our week.
Essentially whats made us happy in roundtables happy place coming to you live from Beijing.
This is round table and Im he Young for todays program, Im joined by Steve Hatherly and Dinghung in the studio first on todays show.
Despite Chinas leading position in global scientific research, university innovations face a roadblock, turning research into commercial success.
Recently, scholars from Tongji University's National University Science and Technological park highlighted in a report published by news portal, the paper CN that only 3.9% of chinese university patents are successfully commercialized, meaning most inventions never reach the market.
So 3.9% sounds very low, but let's do dig into the numbers to understand further the subject.
And Dinghung, please take up that responsibility now.
Yeah, so according to a 2022 chinese patent survey report issued by China's National Intellectual Property and Administration, the scholars West Dongji University have made remarks based on this report too.
Basically, the industrialization rate of patents in universities, like you mentioned, is only 3.9%.
And only 40% of the enterprises incubated by the 139 national university Science and Technology parks in China were founded by university professors and university based students.
And there were even fewer enterprises that are founded based on universities, scientific and technological achievements.
The overall industrialization rate of patents in China has actually shown a steady upward trend in the most recent years, reaching a new high of somewhere around 37%.
In 2022.
However, the rate of invention patents was 48% for companies.
Many would be private companies from the private sector, some 13% for scientific research institutions institutions, but only 3.9% for universities.
