Introduction
In 2016, the "National Innovation-driven Development Strategy Outline" was released, and "science and technology", "innovation" and "innovation-driven" have been gradually became popular words in China.Under the leadership of the Chinese government, China's Science and technology innovation strategy has been fully implemented, and the ability of science and technology innovation has been greatly improved.Jinjiang city is located in Quanzhou city, Fujian Province, China.Since the reform and opening up, it has relied on its more developed traditional manufacturing industry and active private economy to take the initiative to integrate into the global production network system and achieve the continuous and rapid development of the manufacturing industry.However, for a long time, extensive economic growth has made Jinjiang city have problems such as low industrial level, obvious overcapacity, low technical content and added value of products, and lack of innovative talents, which have obviously restricted the pace of scientific and technological innovation.Since the introduction of the "Made in China 2025" strategy, the goal of building a strong manufacturing country has been elevated to a national strategy.Jinjiang city has followed the pace and opened the pace from Jinjiang's "manufacturing" to Jinjiang's "intelligent manufacturing", trying to explore a high-quality development path of manufacturing industry with technology, intelligence and cracking industrial structural contradictions.
Science and technology innovation capability is an important indicator to measure the level of science and technology of a region, and many scholars at home and abroad have studied it, such as [1] have made a comprehensive evaluation of the scientific and technological innovation ability of China's industrial enterprises.[2] evaluated the scientific and technological innovation ability of Hefei High-tech Zone from the perspective of scientific and technological input and output capacity.[3] constructed an evaluation index system from the perspectives of industrial scale, innovation input, output performance, and market environment, and analyzed the growth ability of high-tech industries in China's eastern, central, and western regions in detail.[4] identified three high-tech industry indicators: production and operation of the manufacturing industry, fixed asset investment in the location, and R&D activities of enterprises.[5] assessed China's manufacturing technology innovation capability from four perspectives: innovation investment funds, innovation production technology, innovation support, and innovation resource integration.In terms of evaluation methods, most studies have adopted comprehensive evaluation methods, such as factor analysis [6] and entropy weight method [7,8].Some studies also combine multiple methods for evaluation, for example, [9] used factor analysis and cluster analysis based on diamond theory to comprehensively evaluate the level of science and technology innovation in China's provincial regions.[10] used the entropy TOPSIS method to comprehensively evaluate the scientific and technological innovation capacity of Gansu Province.As for the path of science and technology innovation capacity enhancement, [11] argued that science and technology innovation performance within a region is not influenced by the regional concentration of resources, and that science and technology innovation capacity needs to be enhanced through rational allocation of science and technology innovation resources and improvement of science and technology innovation efficiency.[12], on the other hand, argues that an open environment has a significant positive effect on innovation.
In general, research on the evaluation and improvement path of China's science and technology innovation capability started late, and there is a lack of research on innovation capability at the small regional scale.Therefore, based on the current situation of manufacturing science and technology innovation industry development in Jinjiang city, this study establishes an evaluation index system of science and technology innovation capability from multiple dimensions to comprehensively investigate and analyze the science and technology innovation development capability of manufacturing industry in Jinjiang city, and provide effective countermeasures and suggestions for promoting high-quality development of manufacturing industry in Jinjiang city.

The Evaluation Index System Construction
To fully understand the current situation of the scientific and technological innovation ability of the manufacturing industry in Jinjiang city, according to the principles of scientificity, comprehensiveness, and availability, this paper constructs the evaluation index system of scientific and technological innovation in Jinjiang city from three dimensions of innovation input, innovation output, and innovation environment.The details are shown in Table 1.

Research Method
Based on the strong objectivity of the research data, the study adopts the entropy method to measure the science and technology innovation capability of Jinjiang city, and its specific steps are as follows: Assuming that there are m evaluation objects and n evaluation indexes, the original matrix (Xij) m*n is formed.Further standardize the data, using the standardized formula of the positive index: After data standardization, entropy is calculated for the next program.The information entropy of each index is obtained by the entropy method: the lower the information entropy, the lower the degree of disorder, the higher the utility value of the information, and the higher the index weight.
We calculate the weight of the j-th index value in the i year by the following equation: We calculate the information entropy of the index ej by the following equation: We calculate the index weight Wi by the following equation: Then, Xij indicates the value of the j-th marker in the i-th year.
The results of the weights of each indicator are shown in Table 2.

Data Sources
The main data for this study were obtained from official data reports such as the 2016-2020 Statistical Bulletin of National Economic and Social Development of Jinjiang city and the Work Report of Jinjiang Municipal Government.

Analysis of Results
After calculating the weight, the comprehensive score results are obtained:  3, Jinjiang city has an overall fluctuating and rapid upward trend of science and technology innovation capacity from 2016 to 2020, with a high enhancement intensity and fast enhancement efficiency.Compared with 2016, Jinjiang's science and technology innovation capacity in 2020 has obviously improved in all aspects, which is due to the introduction of the "Made in China 2025" strategy, Jinjiang city has introduced a series of relevant policies focusing on improving the science and technology innovation capacity of the manufacturing industry, which has achieved effective results.In terms of each sub-dimension, innovation input contributes the most to the improvement of scientific and technological innovation capability, innovation output is the second and innovation environment is the lowest.In the current context of accelerating the trend of intelligent transformation of the manufacturing industry, production factor input is the most important link and is the main driving force to enhance the ability of science and technology innovation.From each year, 2017 is the sub-peak of manufacturing science and technology innovation capacity, mainly because of the large number of key technological reform projects and high investment amount in 2017, which is second only to 2020 in terms of innovation input and innovation output.The innovation environment sub-dimension score has gradually increased over the past 5 years, mainly due to the increasing number of high-tech enterprises and R&D institutions driven by an improved innovation climate.
