Ranking of regional innovation capabilities in 31 provinces: Guangdong has won the championship for 6 consecutive years, with the most “enterprise innovation” advantage indicators

Looking at the top six, except for municipalities directly under the Central Government such as Beijing and Shanghai, all other provinces are large economic provinces with a high GDP ranking. Among the “four centers” proposed by Beijing, one of them is to build China’s “science and technology innovation center”. The “five centers” that Shanghai wants to build include the “International Science and Technology Innovation Center”.

But not all major economic provinces rank high. For example, Henan’s GDP ranks fifth in the country for a long time, only lower than Guangdong, Jiangsu, Shandong and Zhejiang. However, its innovation ability is far behind these places, only 13 It is the same situation in Sichuan, where innovation capacity is seriously inconsistent with GDP, and these places really need to pay more attention to the role of innovation in stimulating economic growth.

There are also findings from the rankings. For example, the rankings of the three northeastern provinces, Jilin and Liaoning have dropped sharply, and Heilongjiang has stagnated. This is not good news for the localities.
