Research institutes and R&D subsidies: Taiwan’s national innovation system and policy experiences

Research institutes and R&D subsidies: Taiwan’s national innovation system and policy experiences In Taiwan’s national innovation system, the Government-Sponsored Research Institutes (GSRIs) facilitate technology assimilation and/or transfer and cooperative R&D promotion in support of firms, and also act as a policy assistant. Drawing on the dataset of the “Local Industry Innovation Engine Program”, the study quantitatively compares various types of the R&D alliances initiated by GSRIs and the types of R&D grants they received.

Abstract

In Taiwan’s national innovation system, the Government-Sponsored Research Institutes (GSRIs) facilitate technology assimilation and/or transfer and cooperative R&D promotion in support of firms, and also act as a policy assistant. Drawing on the dataset of the “Local Industry Innovation Engine Program”, the study quantitatively compares various types of the R&D alliances initiated by GSRIs and the types of R&D grants they received. Based on the empirical evidence, the study argues that there are significantly matching effect between types of GSRIs and the size of firms in organising R&D alliances. Some of GSRIs have their advantage in relieving the distribution inequality problem of innovation resources across sectors and regions.
