Establishing a measurement framework indicating regional technology innovation ability

As the continuous development of technology, the processes of technological innovation involve in more elements and tend to be more complicated. Regional technology innovation ability, regarded as important research content in regional innovation system, can be the reflection of the extent to functioning in regional technology innovation system. Based on extant research in this field, this paper constructs a measurement framework indicating regional technology innovation ability. We draw a three-level evaluation indicators system of regional technology innovation ability to evaluate national regional competitiveness, urban competitiveness and regional modernization. We also select Yunnan Province as an example to expound the regional technology innovation ability, and elaborate the procession of indicators construction of regional technology innovation ability.
