Abstract

Regional technological innovation capability is the core element of promoting developmen. Under the circumstances of the transformation of international trade relations and the continuous expansion of China’s opening to the outside world, this paper constructs an evaluation index system of China’s provincial technological innovation capability from four aspects of innovation input, environment, technological achievement output and value transformation, and analyzes the distribution of technological innovation capability and its influencing factors by using principal component analysis (PCA) and cluster analysis. The results show that, at present, China’s technological innovation capability is quite different between regions and within regions, and technological innovation input and value transformation contribute greatly to the development of the regional technological innovation capability. The innovation environment and technological achievement output need to be improved and strengthened. In the end, the paper puts forward some suggestions on improving the overall level of China’s technological innovation capability.
