Abstract: We focus on issues concerning the transfer of innovative capability from universities to enterprises. First, this paper outlines a theoretical framework for the transfer of innovative capability; it then provides an institutional form of transferring innovation capability in terms of united institution of transfer (UIT). Furthermore, an empirical analysis of feasibility of transferring innovation capability in China is conducted based on knowledge production function. Finally, we conclude that institution collaboration in the context of UIT is a good way of transferring innovative capability from universities to enterprises in China.
