Abstract:Innovation consortium is an important way to cultivate and develop new quality productivity and an important path to break through key core technologies. Using the scientific knowledge mapping method and literature analysis method, the study conducts a scientometric analysis of the development of innovation consortium from 2000 to 2024. Meanwhile, the study systematically combs and compares the representative literature home and abroad, and analyzes deeply on innovation consortium in terms of the distribution of current status of research, research hotspots, and hotspot evolution paths and trends. The results are as follows. First, the connotation of innovation consortium is increasingly enriched and the research on innovation consortium shows the trend of evolving from single organization to diversified organizations, which helps to better integrate the resources of all parties and improve the innovation capability. Second, the research hotspots focus on the operational stability of innovation consortium, incentive mechanism, upgrade path of consortium construction, and practical exploration of innovation consortium led by leading enterprises in China, and the research methods mainly include empirical analysis, mathematical modeling, case study and computer simulation. Third, the research trend has developed towards how to break through the key core technology, enhance the original innovation ability of innovation main body, and improve the security of industrial chain and innovation chain. Future research on innovation consortium can be expanded in four aspects: breakthrough of key core technologies in innovation consortium, deep integration of industry-university-research, knowledge co-creation in innovation consortium.
