Abstract：
Within the analytical frame of four spiral structure’s open innovation system, this paper uses the provincial panel data from 2010 to 2015 to build the evaluation index system of innovation ecosystem and then evaluates it. The conclusion of the study shows that at the national level, China’s innovation ecosystem is improving but the innovation abilities of enterprises and research institutions are still low. From the regional level, the innovation ecosystem in eastern regions is better with a coordinated development of all innovation bodies compared with that in the central, eastern and northeastern regions. From the provincial level, the innovation ecosystems in Beijing, Jiangsu, Guangdong and Shanghai are relatively developed while those in Inner Mongolia, Hainan, Ningxia and Qinghai are underdeveloped. The above conclusion indicates that under the innovation-driven development strategy, governments of all levels should build a unique and relatively complete innovation ecosystem.
