Government and nonprofit innovation intermediaries that work to enable the innovativeness of firms include R&D performers such as government research institutes, property-based enablers such as science parks and business incubators, technology transfer offices, economic development organizations, industry associations, and business financing and support programs. In this paper we examine the nature and evolution of innovation intermediaries in China over the three decades from 1980 to 2010. Based on our investigation we conclude that China’s innovation intermediaries continue to reflect her legacy of central control and planned regional specialization. As a consequence they may be well suited to support technology adoption and incremental innovation, but may be poorly suited to support innovation that crosses industrial or disciplinary boundaries, or that is otherwise unanticipated by the system’s designers
