Improving the Regional Science and Technology Innovation Ability under the Background of Data Element Marketization: Insights from the Yunnan Province

Under the background of the marketization of data elements, enhancing regional scientific and technological innovation capabilities has become the main driving force for urban sustainable development. It contributes to the sustainable development of the region. Based on the data of the Yunnan statistical yearbook, we built a regional science and technology innovation index system from three dimensions of science and technology innovation input, output, and benefit. Firstly, the entropy method is used to obtain the weight of each index. Secondly, TOPSIS is used to evaluate the 36 index data of each prefecture. Finally, the scores and rankings of the scientific and technological innovation ability of each prefecture are obtained. The research can effectively find the advantages and disadvantages of scientific and technological innovation in the Yunnan Province, provide data support and decision support for regional economic development, and play an important role in promoting the level of technological innovation in modern industries. At the same time, research projects can help various regions allocate various technological innovation resources reasonably, enhance their original innovation capabilities, lead the development of strategic emerging industries and future industries, and accelerate the formation of new quality productivity.
