Data-Driven Evaluation of Regional Innovation Capability

Abstract

Regional innovation capability is considered an important driving force for the sustainable and high-quality development of regional economy. Therefore, data-driven evaluation method of regional innovation capability is proposed. First, the article collects regional innovation development statistics; second, min-max standardization method is used for dimensionless data processing, and anti-entropy method is used to calculate index weight; third, a composite system synergy degree model for objective and quantitative evaluation is built; finally, using Anhui Province as an example, the feasibility of the method was verified . The results indicate that the order and synergy degree of the innovation input and innovation output subsystems of Anhui Province have shown an upward trend from 2010 to 2019. However, innovation output has not been synchronized with innovation input. Therefore, suggestions for improving Anhui's regional innovation capability are proposed. This study provides theoretical and methodological support for evaluating and optimizing regional innovation capability.
