Release time:2016-08-27Author: Jiang Cailou et al.

 Innovation clusters from the perspective of globalization include the evolution of the connotation of "clusters", the evolution of global value chains and the formation of global technology chains. Innovation clusters are the result of the co-evolution of industry and technology, with its evolutionary power coming from the top-down driving force represented by the government and relevant authoritative institutions, the bottom-up attraction for seeking profit maximization, and the self-organization force of the cluster. The study of the co-evolution path of innovation clusters from a global perspective has important enlightening significance for the research on the upgrading and transformation of science and technology zones. Late comers often have a strong impulse for economic development and use extrapolation methods to promote resource agglomeration out of growth needs. In terms of external performance, these regions will focus on the processing and manufacturing links of the global value chain to form productive clusters. If we can coordinate industrial resources and scientific and technological innovation resources, we are able to lead these production clusters to evolve into innovation clusters.
