Against the backdrop of fostering new quality productive forces and advancing industrial transformation and upgrading, optimizing university scientific and technological achievement transformation platforms based on enterprises’ actual technical demands is an effective way to break barriers hindering the integration of innovation chains and industrial chains. From the perspective of enterprise demand traction, this paper adopts policy text analysis and case studies to investigate the construction effects and collaborative operation logic of university achievement transformation platforms in Henan. The study finds that Henan has established a “1+4+N” platform network and a four-dimensional collaborative system via policy arrangements, and stimulated industry-university research vitality through university-enterprise cooperation. However, the platforms are confronted with unbalanced regional development, supply-demand mismatch, insufficient supporting resources and inefficient coordination mechanisms. Accordingly, optimization strategies are proposed involving differentiated platform construction, closed loop services, financial empowerment and intelligent governance. The research results support the improvement of Henan’s innovation ecosystem and provide references for similar platforms in central and western China.
