Abstract

Technological innovation is the core driving force driving China's equipment manufacturing industry to achieve high-quality development. This paper takes China's equipment manufacturing industry as the research object, based on dividing the technological innovation process into two stages of technological research and development and economic transformation, using the super-efficient DEA-SBM model to measure the technological innovation efficiency of China's equipment manufacturing industry from 2011 to 2020, and analyzing in-depth the evolution law of technological innovation efficiency of China's equipment manufacturing industry. The study concludes that the technological innovation efficiency of China's equipment manufacturing industry is relatively low, with a large space for improvement, showing a spatial distribution pattern of "high in the east and low in the west". Based on the conclusions of the study, specific measures to enhance the technological innovation efficiency of China's equipment manufacturing industry and promote the synergistic development of inter-regional technological innovation efficiency are proposed from the aspects of promoting the synergistic enhancement of technological research and development efficiency and economic transformation efficiency and promoting the synergistic development of inter-regional technological innovation efficiency. Firstly, to build a unified technology innovation factor market, to promote the free flow of technology innovation factors between regions, and to promote the optimal allocation of technology, talents and other innovation resources, in order to narrow the differences in the innovation efficiency of the regional equipment manufacturing industry; secondly, to establish a coordinated docking mechanism for inter-regional technological innovation activities in conjunction with the advantages of the region, to accelerate the transfer of technology by means of policy inclination, to stimulate the advantageous regions to provide technical support to other regions or to carry out.
