Local public technology centers, administrated by the prefectural and municipal governments, primarily engage in providing technological support to small local firms and are currently encountered with structural changes in regional innovation systems. Using a comprehensive dataset, this study quantitatively examines fit between resource allocation strategy of local public technology centers and the characteristics of regional environments. The results show that there are no significant differences between centers' strategies according to the characteristics of a regional innovation system. This implies that centers' strategies were inefficient because economic welfare in the region would have improved if they had allocated resources in accordance with the characteristics of a regional innovation system.
