Abstract: In the context of implementing innovation-driven development strategy, promoting the transformation of scientific and technological achievements, and encouraging local exploration of scientific and technological innovation, the development of technology incubation industry has become an important focus in the construction of national or regional innovation system. This paper constructs an evaluation index system for the development of technology incubation industry from three aspects: development scale, development capacity and development potential, and measures the regional development ability and difference according to the method of entropy-TOPSIS. Taking the incubation data of 30 provinces in China from 2011 to 2018 as samples, this paper explores the impact of the development of technology incubation industry on regional technological innovation progress, the regulatory role of regional policy level and regional innovation development level on the relationship between them, and the secondary regulatory role of regional innovation activity level. The results show that the development level of technology incubation industry shows an upward trend from 2014 to 2018. The level of development in eastern China is in the leading position, and the average growth rate in western China is the highest. The development of technology incubation industry has a significant positive impact on accelerating the progress of regional technological innovation; the level of regional policy can positively promote the relationship between them; the higher the activity of regional innovation, the weaker the negative impact of regional innovation openness on the relationship between them. This paper provides decision support for accelerating the development of technology incubation industry, exploring the path of accelerating regional innovation and progress, and narrowing the differences between the east, central and west regions.

Key words: technological incubation industry, regional innovation activity, regional innovation openness, regional technological innovation progress, regional policy
