Research on current situation and optimization strategy of cross-regional scientific and technological innovation cooperation in the Yellow River Basin
Realizing effective cross-regional innovation cooperation not only helps to enhance the overall scientific and technological innovation capabilities of the Yellow River Basin,but also is crucial for promoting the western development strategy and achieving industrial upgrading and leapfrogging in the western region.The innovation collaborative network composed of various enterprises,universities,and research institutes across different regions in the Yellow River Basin helps to break down information silos and help provinces and cities fully achieve information sharing in open scientific and technological innovation cooperation platforms.The cross-regional innovation collaborative network that have been constructed in the Yellow River Basin consists of cooperation relationships between provinces within the Yellow River Basin,as well as cooperation relationships between provinces within and outside the basin.This study investigated the current situation of technological innovation cooperation in the Yellow River Basin reflected by the network,and the results showed that the network composed of the former showed an uneven distribution pattern of"dense in the east and sparse in the west"in space,but the density of innovation collaborative network has increased in recent years.The network composed of the latter initially had uneven spatial distribution,but recently the breadth and depth of cooperation have significantly increased.There are still many obstacles to scientific and technological innovation cooperation in the Yellow River Basin.Firstly,a large-scale and comprehensive innovation collaborative network is defective,mainly manifested in insufficient innovation cooperation among provinces within the Yellow River Basin.Moreover,the lack of a comprehensive and multi-level cross-regional institutional collaborative operation mechanism makes it difficult to fully leverage the role of cross regional innovation collaborative networks.In view of this,this study proposes to improve the innovation collaborative cooperation system from the central to the local level,from top to bottom,and follow the optimization idea of"enhancing the top level design capabilities—improving the collaborative network—enhancing cooperation awareness—coordinating regional regulations—forming cross regional alliances—creating a collaborative innovation ecosystem—exploring innovation cooperation opportunities"to build the scientific and technological innovation corridor in the Yellow River Basin innovation corridor.
