Abstract: Taking advantage of 2006-2010 bilateral data of technical market transaction between regions in China, This paper investigates the network structure and spatial feature of inter-regional technology transfer through the social network analysis and GIS spatial analysis. Results show that, firstly, the inter-provincial technology transfer activities become increasingly frequent since 2006. With the changes of regional technology capacity and technology gap among regions, the “core-periphery” structure of inter-regional technology transfer network with Beijing as the central is getting weaken. Secondly, the bulk technology transfer is spreading to other regions with Beijing as the central, which is barely constrained by geographical distance. The whole technology transfer shows several regional blocks with various forms of spatial aggregation or dispersion, and the geographical distance plays different roles in the evolution of each regional block. Finally, with the changes of technology capacity in each region and its adjacent regions, the regional blocks evolve from ‘weak-weak’ subgroup to ‘strong-weak’ subgroup or ‘weak-strong’ subgroup, and then move to ‘strong-strong’ subgroup with good interaction.
