The Influence of the Evolution of the Innovative Network on Technical Innovation from the Perspective of Energy Transformation: Based on Analysis of the New Energy Vehicle Industry in China

Under the dual pressure of energy transformation and environmental protection, how to use innovative network enhance technical innovation (TI) are significant problems for new vehicle (NEV) enterprises in China. Based on patent data China’s NEV industry from 2001 2022, combined with logical framework “Patent Analysis—Network Evolution—Empirical research”, this study deeply discusses influence enterprises’ TI. It is shown that there an inverse U-relationship between cooperation breadth enterprises, appropriate favors At same time, structural holes, knowledge diversity value have a positive impact In addition, performs series robustness tests heterogeneity checks. The conclusions conducive further improving relationship networks TI, which important both theoretically practically promoting automotive enterprises.
