Abstract:Amid the new round of sci-tech revolution and industrial transformation,regional digital sci-tech innovation capability is a key driver reshaping the regional innovation landscape.However,China faces three prominent challenges,namely insufficient leading capacity of advantaged regions,inadequate cultivation in disadvantaged regions,and weak digital innovation chain resilience.From the digital innovation chain perspective,this study constructs a full-chain evaluation system covering“digital scientific research,digital technological innovation,digital product innovation,and digital scenario innovation”.Using the grey target coupling coordination comprehensive evaluation model,it evaluates digital sci-tech innovation capability across 30 Chinese provinces(2012-2022,excluding Hong Kong,Macao,Taiwan,and Xizang).It finds that:first,regional digital sci-tech innovation capabilities present differentiated development modes,including single-link leading,dual-link coupling,and multi-link coordination;second,coupling coordination evolves through three stages—peak polarization,peak-group migration,and broad-spectrum stratification;third,the regional pattern shifts from“strong east,weak west”to“path divergence”,with dual features of agglomeration differentiation and the Matthew effect;fourth,structural constraints persist,including weak links,imperfect coordination mechanisms,and unbalanced factor allocation.These findings help address dilemmas such as the widening digital divide,loose links between basic research and applied innovation,and the disconnect between digital technology development and its application,effectively boosting regional digital sci-tech innovation capability and accelerating the formation of new quality productive forces.
