Abstract:The evaluation of Innovation-Driven Development should focus on the assessment of the contribution degree of innovation to Development not the innovation capability. According to the contribution degree, Innovation-Driven Development can be divided into innovation-development stage and all-round development. The former stage should put more emphasis on evaluation of intellectual property system, intellectual property system and emerging industry. The latter stage should focus on the assessment of Innovation, green, harmonious, open and shared five development ideas. Comparing with the main innovation-oriented countries, we can get some evaluation criteria and evaluation Indicator for China Innovation-Driven Development.
