Abstract:

As technology enterprises continue to advance their role as core drivers within innovation systems, the impact of university knowledge spillover on their development remains unclear. Thus, this paper systematically explores the specific mechanisms and effects of knowledge spillover on technological innovation within enterprises. Through in-depth investigations in technology-intensive regions among universities, technology enterprises, and institutional personnel, this study categorizes university knowledge spillover into four core dimensions: the transformation of research achievements, the mobility of high-skilled talent, university-industry collaboration models, and innovative cultural atmospheres. Utilizing a linear regression model, this empirical research examines the impact mechanisms and effects of university knowledge spillover on the innovation and development capabilities of technology enterprises, while also considering transmission pathways and recommendations for sustainable development. The study finds that university knowledge spillover makes a significant positive contribution across all dimensions to enterprise innovation. This conclusion not only validates the applicability of knowledge spillover theory within the technological innovation system but also emphasizes the vital role of universities as sources of knowledge innovation. Practically, the research findings have significant implications for promoting deep integration between academia and industry and accelerating the efficient transfer of scientific achievements from university laboratories to enterprise production lines. Strengthening cooperation mechanisms between universities and enterprises and optimizing the environment for knowledge flow and sharing can effectively enhance the overall efficiency of the technology innovation system and drive high-quality economic and social development.
