Research on The Construction of Sci-tech Innovation Ability Index and Spatial Difference Measurement

Abstract

The research on the ability of sci-tech innovation has always been a hot topic in the field of regional innovation. It is of great significance to promote the overall competitiveness of industry and the development of regional economy. Based on the comprehensive factors of science and technology support ability, innovation environment, innovation ability and its output, this paper studies the sci-tech innovation ability of Guangdong Province, constructs STICI for the first time, analyzes the actual data of 2018 of 21 regions in Guangdong Province, and measures the sci-tech innovation ability of each region. The difference of sci-tech innovation ability is also analyzed based on two levels of comprehensive ability and first level factor. It is concluded that the development of regional sci-tech innovation is unbalanced in different regions in Guangdong Province. It is suggested that the regional sci-tech innovation ability can be improved and the coordinated development of the whole province can be promoted through policy guidance, precise assistance, cooperation and co-construction, and strengthened dominant position of enterprises in sci-tech innovation in eastern and western regions of Guangdong Province.
