Abstract

The relationship between clusters of big scientific infrastructures (CBSIs) and the development of industrial technology has attracted increasing attention. Following the introduction of the theoretical perspective of technology affordance, and the technological perspective of large scientific infrastructure, it has become apparent that the CBSIs are a vast database of various technologies in diverse scientific fields and can provide sufficient technological information for industrial technological innovation. More significantly, this database can provide a basis for upgrading, and even transforming, the industrial technological system. Thus, industrial technology development and innovation can become a technological affordance of the CBSIs. By building comprehensive national science centers and international science and technology innovation centers in Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macao, around the CBSIs, the Chinese government has identified such technology affordance and has built beneficial support systems to bring this technology affordance into force. Therefore, the CBSIs have become a core provision for the construction of future regional innovation systems.
