Abstract


At present, China's economy is in the key period of deepening the structural reform of the supply side and accelerating the process of new and old kinetic energy conversion. The development of the new industry and the transformation and upgrading of the traditional industries should be in accordance with the economic laws. Based on the theory of Niche Fitness, the study on current situation and trend of the industrial innovation ecosystem, which can optimize the allocation of demand, supply and environment in the industrial innovation ecosystem, strengthen the competition and cooperation relationship among the innovators in the industrial innovation ecosystem, and improve the horizontal competitiveness and longitudinal influence of the innovative ecosystem. Taking Shandong Province as an example, the niche fitness of the industrial innovation ecosystem of 6 high-tech manufacturing industries is calculated. On this basis, the suggestions are provided for the optimization and upgrading of the industrial innovation ecosystem and the development and expansion of the “ten strong†industrial clusters in the process of the transformation of new and old kinetic energy.
