Abstract

The research on urban innovation links is of great significance for revealing the structural characteristics of innovation space. At the same time, it is of great significance for formulating regional innovation development strategies. Based on statistics from 2008, 2013 and 2018, the time and spatial characteristics of the urban innovation contact network evolution in Henan Province were investigated using the entropy weight and gravity-model method. The results show that the overall pattern of the regional innovation network in Henan Province is radial, with the characteristics of a “core edge”. It shows that it radiates to the surrounding cities with Zhengzhou as the core. From the perspective of time evolution, the radiation range and intensity of the innovation center city have changed to varying degrees and the overall radiation pattern has not significantly changed. From the perspective of spatial evolution, the evolution of Henan Province’s innovation network presents the following development trends. The central and southern regions developed rapidly, and the western, northern and eastern regions developed slowly.
