Abstract: The collaboration of government-university-industry is vital for knowledge creation. In this study, through a qualitative research, we compared the collaboration and knowledge conversion process of two regions in Japan and examined the influence of the leading role of collaboration in knowledge transfer in a regional context. We conducted semi-structured interviews with local governments, universities, and companies; adopted the SECI model to explain the knowledge conversion process; and used time series to compare the learning spiral. We found that the leading role of collaboration influences not only the types of regional collaboration but also the knowledge transfer and conversion process directly and indirectly. Our results provide insights for local governments to encourage knowledge creation.
