This paper focuses on the characteristics, realistic dilemmas, and breakthrough paths of Chinese higher vocational colleges in the process of transformation of scientific and technological achievements. It is found that higher vocational colleges have the characteristics of regional economic development, focusing on applied technology, diversified scientific research teams, and rapid development of scientific research forces. However, in terms of the transformation of scientific and technological achievements, there are still problems such as insufficient transformation strength, poor compatibility between achievements and market demand, insufficient financial support, and poor transformation channels. To solve these problems, this paper proposes strategies such as increasing scientific research investment, deepening school-enterprise collaboration, broadening fundraising channels, and strengthening the construction of professional institutions, to improve the transformation ability of scientific and technological achievements in higher vocational colleges and better serve the national and regional economic development.
