Objective/Meaning Technology transfer in Taiwan, China, started early and has a mature system. Systematically sorting out its institutional design and operational experience is of important reference value for breaking the barriers of cross-strait technology transfer rules and promoting the construction of a cross-strait integrated development demonstration zone.

Methods/Procedures Based on institutional analysis and case study methods, this paper deconstructs Taiwan’s technology transfer ecosystem from four dimensions: policy system, service institutions, operation modes and typical models, and extracts its core experience.

Results/Conclusions Taiwan’s technology transfer has formed a three-level institutional framework of “upper law—special law—departmental rules”, with the core driving mechanisms of high-proportion income distribution for creators, deferred tax incentives, and relaxed personnel mobility. It has built a collaborative service ecosystem of four types of entities: R&D legal persons, university technology transfer centers, government platforms, and market-oriented institutions. Typical models such as the hub bridging of ITRI, market-oriented governance of Taiwan University, and gradient incubation of Cheng Kung University have emerged. Drawing on its experience, Fujian-Taiwan scientific and technological collaborative innovation should be promoted from the four-dimensional paths of institutional connection, platform co-construction, talent co-education, and standard interoperability.
