The evaluation of the companies’ performance at University Science Parks (SPs) becomes essential in identifying the needs of the companies and the feasibility of the University-Business Collaboration (UBC). The companies’ real needs are also of interest for universities and SPs, since they face the challenge of designing strategies that best help them to transfer knowledge more effectively. This research article focuses on Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) in UBC, needs and business objectives of companies co-located at SPs in Spain and Mexico. This article (i) aims to identify the KPIs in UBC used by co-located companies at SPs, and (ii) explore the KPIs in UBC and critical success factors of SPs. This article focuses on the perspective of companies, with a secondary focus on the perspectives of SPs and universities. For this study, data was collected through online company surveys in Spain and Mexico. Moreover, the empirical analysis uses fourteen semi-structured interviews addressed to SPs directors to explore KPIs in UBC and success factors of SPs in both countries. In addition, two frameworks were developed with the main KPIs in UBC, taking into account university and company perspectives. They show the objectives, strategies and long-term KPIs as well as progress KPIs, and they are a useful guide to evaluate the accomplishments and the alignment of goals in UBC.

评估公司在大学科技园 (SP) 的绩效对于确定公司的需求和大学与企业合作 ( UBC ) 的可行性至关重要。公司的实际需求也引起了大学和 SP 的兴趣，因为他们面临着设计最能帮助他们更有效地转移知识的策略的挑战。本研究文章侧重于UBC中的关键绩效指标 ( KPI ) 、在西班牙和墨西哥共处 SP 的公司的需求和业务目标。本文 (i) 旨在确定SP 中位于同一地点的公司使用的UBC中的KPI ，以及 (ii) 探索UBC中的KPI和 SP 的关键成功因素。本文侧重于公司的视角，其次侧重于 SP 和大学的视角。对于这项研究，数据是通过西班牙和墨西哥的在线公司调查收集的。此外，实证分析使用了 14 次针对 SP 董事的半结构化访谈，以探索UBC中的KPI和两国 SP 的成功因素。此外，还考虑了大学和公司的观点，以UBC的主要KPI开发了两个框架。它们显示了目标、策略和长期KPI以及进度KPIs，它们是评估UBC的成就和目标一致性的有用指南。
