Intermediaries have played an irreplaceable role in the transformation of scientific and technological achievements.
Based on professional knowledge and skills, science and technology intermediaries can build a bridge connecting enterprises, scientific research institutions, universities, governments and markets, which has irreplaceable advantages in effectively reducing innovation risks and accelerating the transformation of scientific and technological achievements. Most western developed countries adopt policies and measures to actively support and develop science and technology intermediaries to provide services for technological innovation of enterprises. The functions of science and technology intermediaries are becoming more and more perfect and become an effective tool to promote the transformation of scientific and technological achievements. Japan's rapid rise from economic depression after World War II benefited from the unique role played by intermediary organizations in the transformation of scientific and technological achievements. In Britain, many intermediaries are located in science parks to provide consulting and services to enterprises from different aspects. In the United States, universities and enterprises establish contact through intermediary liaison institutions. On the one hand, these institutions seek the market for the scientific research achievements of colleges and universities, on the other hand, they introduce the project management dynamics of enterprises into schools and play a bridge role in the transformation of scientific research achievements. In Germany, intermediaries are important ties between enterprises and the government, enterprises and scientific research institutions, and enjoy the right to allocate financial subsidies for SMEs entrusted by the government. Their service focuses on financing, information consultation, technological innovation, product participation, education and training of SMEs (Wan, 2006). Many domestic intermediaries have a strong government background, and the forms and functions of services are relatively simple. From the experience of foreign countries, science and technology intermediary services should develop in the direction of "organization specialization, organization networking and market nationalization", and relevant government departments should speed up the transformation of these institutions into market-oriented operations and give appropriate support to non-governmental professional service institutions.
