Abstract

Although there are many local colleges and universities in Suzhou, their science and technology resources are not fully used; the cooperation between research and production is still in low level. The two parties of cooperation have different concepts; their collaboration is in low level and does not have enough depth. The professional settings of local colleges and universities cannot match with the needs of industry development; the scientific and technological achievements are out of line with the actual requirements. A relevant long-term mechanism has not yet been established. Thus, it is necessary to give full play to the macro-directive role of the government in the process of collaborative innovation, so as to improve the coupling degree of discipline and specialty setup with the regional economic development, and construct a long-term mechanism of collaborative innovation. Through these measures, we can actively respond to the needs of Suzhou in economic restructuring, and provide talents as well as scientific and technological supports for its industrial transformation and upgrading.
