Despite considerable research on technology transfer from higher education institutions (HEIs) to companies in Western countries, research cannot be found on such an important issue in the context of China. This paper introduces a conceptual framework that addresses major determinants of technology development and transfer in China. The determinants include the economic system, government policy and initiative, and constraints and impetus. An overview of technology transfer in China indicates that China's HEIs have already become a major source of new technology. A case study of technology transfer at Tsinghua University suggests that successful practices of technology transfer already exist. Research and practical implications are discussed.
