Abstract
The current technological potential energy agglomeration situation
and the driving mechanism for high-tech (HT) industry
development can be clarified based on the front view of innovative
behaviour. Thus, it can be defined using three dimensions:
comprehensive innovation environment, innovation initiative and
attraction of innovation factors. This study theoretically investigates
the internal mechanism and spatial effect of technological
potential energy agglomeration driving the development of the
HT industry and establishes an empirical analysis using a general
nested space model (GNS). China’s regional technological potential
energy agglomeration level increases over time, and a
‘conduction’ development pattern spreading from the northeast
to the southwest is observed. The diversified agglomeration of
technological potential energy can significantly transform the
low- and medium-tech (LMT) industry to the HT industry at
the 1% level, with a driving force of 0.5994. The driving force of
the specialised agglomeration is 0.2538, less than the diversified
agglomeration. The specialised agglomeration of technological
potential energy hinders the development of HT industries
in neighbouring areas, as core technologies are excusive with
limited innovation resources. Therefore, all provinces should promote
HT industries by cultivating platforms for technological
potential energy agglomeration, encouraging technological
innovation, strengthening foreign trade and promoting institutional
innovation.
