Abstract

Amid global economic integration, technological revolution, and the development of “new-quality productive forces,” innovation-driven development in China’s western regions is strategically vital. However, existing evaluation tools fail to match its unique characteristics. This study expands the “Four-Helix” theory to build an evaluation framework covering five dimensions: foundational innovation environment, subject vitality, outcome production, input resources, and open collaboration. Using the CRITIC-TOPSIS method, it empirically analyzes the innovation ecosystems of 12 western provinces from 2018 to 2023. Results show a “three-strong-leaders, mid-tier-catch-up, lagging-tail” pattern, with Sichuan, Shaanxi, and Chongqing topping consistently, revealing obvious regional disparities. Key influencing factors include the proportion of education expenditure, and provincial development is imbalanced across dimensions. Corresponding countermeasures are proposed to provide references for western innovation governance.
