Whether the it can become a world-class bay area and a world-class city cluster depends on the collaborative innovation ability of the region. Innovation is the fundamental driving force for the sustainable development of regional economy. The formation of innovation system is also a shortcut to improve the ability of independent innovation. This paper takes the innovation system of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao greater bay area as the research object, constructs the evaluation index system of the synergy effect of the innovation system of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao greater bay area, and measures and evaluates the synergy degree of each regional subsystem in the greater bay area, among which, Hong Kong is the highest and Jiangmen is the lowest. Therefore, this paper focuses on the analysis of the coordination obstacles and level differences in Jiangmen, and puts forward countermeasures and suggestions to promote the innovative development of Jiangmen based on the existing problems and their causes, in an attempt to provide some experience for the innovative development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao greater bay area.
