This book examines how Zhejiang Province has systematically built an innovation-driven development model over the past two decades, transforming structural constraints into drivers of sustained high-quality growth. Focusing on the full trajectory from strategic planning to institutional design and concrete practice, the book analyzes how Zhejiang advanced from early industrialization to a comprehensive innovation ecosystem integrating technological innovation, industrial upgrading, digital governance, and talent development.
Rather than presenting isolated policies or fragmented case descriptions, the book adopts a model-oriented analytical approach, organizing Zhejiang’s experience into a coherent framework of innovation-driven provincial development. It explains how long-term strategic continuity, enterprise-led innovation, advanced manufacturing transformation, digital reform, and science-and-technology platforms jointly shaped Zhejiang’s modernization path.
