Abstract:Taking the national patent data as the basis and the patent cooperation and transfer networks as the support platform, this paper constructs the Urban Agglomeration Innovation Hyper Network (UAI-HN). And taking the advanced material industry of central plains urban agglomeration as the example, this model is used to analyze and reveal the synergy innovation characteristics of advanced material industry in the central plains urban agglomeration, such as innovation cluster, innovation tuple, collaborative innovation capability of subjects and spatial coverage, collaborative innovation capability of city and supporting ability for subjects. The main results are as follows. The relationship between collaborative innovation activities of the central plains urban agglomeration is less centralized, the collaborative level of innovation subjects is uneven and the spontaneous technical cooperation is very active. The collaborative ability of enterprises and their research platforms is prominent, the school-enterprise synergy mechanism is relatively mature, while S&T institutes have both weak innovation capability and weak collaborative capability. The division of innovation cooperation function among cities in the urban agglomeration is clear, and the cities also have the strong innovation cooperation trend with those outside the urban agglomerations. The innovation clusters led by universities and S&T service institutions are the core of the synergy innovation system of the central plains urban agglomeration.
