ABSTRACT

The development of the Yangtze River Delta region has entered a new stage. Regional collaborative innovation is an important way to further promote the regional integration of the Yangtze River Delta and an important part of the construction of the Yangtze River Delta urban agglomeration. In this paper, using the composite system synergy model, 16 representative indicators are selected to measure the orderly degree and overall synergy of the collaborative innovation of the subsystems in the Yangtze River Delta region from 2013 to 2017. The research shows that Jiangsu Province has the highest level of order. Shanghai is second, Zhejiang is third, and Anhui is the weakest. The overall situation is in a low degree of coordination. Based on this, this paper combines the economic characteristics of each province, and proposes to enhance regional collaborative innovation from the perspectives of geographical advantages and industrial upgrading.
