Against the backdrop of the “dual carbon” goals, this study focuses on the Xizang. By developing an integrated evaluation index system for the digital economy, ecological environment, and clean energy systems, we conduct an empirical analysis using panel data (2013–2023), employing the TOPSIS entropy weight method and a coupling coordination degree model. The results indicate: (1) The overall development level of the three systems demonstrates an upward trajectory, characterized by leapfrog development in the digital economy, continuous optimization of clean energy, and an inverted U-shaped curve in the ecological environment. (2) The coupling coordination degree of the three systems has undergone a three-stage evolutionary process, with synergistic effects progressively intensifying.

This paper systematically reviews the experiences and lessons from Japan’s regional revitalization practices across three distinct periods. It identifies key characteristics of Japan’s IUR collaborative innovation system at three levels: legal breakthroughs, policy innovations, and governance transformations. Drawing on open innovation theory, the study categorizes the resulting innovation platforms into three types: government-led, regionally embedded, and market-driven. Based on this analysis, implications are derived for deepening IUR collaboration within China’s regional economic revitalization efforts. These include that restructuring the institutional core by establishing a framework for service invention rights reform and a regional innovation compatibility assessment mechanism; reshaping structural resilience through legislation ensuring SME participation in R&D projects and the creation of technology adaptation centers; rebuilding ecological ethics by incorporating traditional culture preservation metrics into evaluation systems and establishing innovation insurance funds.

High tech enterprises in the pharmaceutical and health industry in Jilin Province play a key role in promoting regional economic growth and ensuring people’s health. This article is based on data from the Torch Statistics Center of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of China. It uses data from the high-tech f ields supported by the state, including biology and new medicine (excluding agricultural biotechnology, light industry, and chemical biotechnology) and new materials (biomedical materials), to analyze the current situation of the scale distribution, economic contribution, innovation investment, and innovation achievements of high-tech enterprises in the pharmaceutical and health industry in Jilin Province from 2021 to 2023, and proposes corresponding suggestions. 

With the digital economy as the core growth engine, developing the software industry is strategically significant for Xiangyang to promote intelligent manufacturing and enhance urban competitiveness. Based on Xiangyang’s enterprise registration data and in-depth interviews with representative firms, this study identifies four key bottlenecks of the local software industry and proposes six countermeasures, providing practical reference for Xiangyang and similar tier-3 cities in pursuing high-quality development of the software industry.

As the strategy of building a digital China continues to advance, smart homes, as an important area where the digital economy integrates into ordinary people’s lives, have seen their digital and intelligent transformation become a crucial means of promoting social digital development and improving people’s quality of life. This article comprehensively reviews the development and policy environment of smart home construction through researching policies, analyzing practical cases, and conducting field visits and surveys. It focuses on analyzing the problems that arise during the integration of smart homes and industries, such as inadequate policies, difficulties in technology integration, and insufficient industry collaboration. This provides theoretical reference for the coordinated development of smart homes in Shanxi Province and even the whole country, and helps to truly implement the strategy of building a digital China.

Electric vehicles serve as a crucial means for Henan Province to achieve carbon peaking and carbon neutrality. This study examines Zhengzhou’s electric vehicle service system through field research, expert interviews, and questionnaire surveys. It analyzes the characteristics of the existing service system and identifies four key deficiencies, proposing corresponding improvement measures. This research provides reference for refining electric vehicle service systems across the province and nationwide, bolstering consumer confidence and promoting high quality industry development. 

This study analyzes Chinese ice-snow town research (2016-2024) using CiteSpace. Findings reveal a nascent field concentrated in Northeast China, focusing on industrial integration and development paths. The research evolved from conceptual introduction to industrial deepening and post-Olympics review, shifting from construction to operation focus. Future work requires closer collaboration, broader perspectives, and region-specific approaches for systematic and sustainable development.

The digital economy serves as the core engine driving the development of new-type productive forces. As a pivotal platform for the Central China Rise strategy, the Yangtze River Mid-Reach Urban Agglomeration’s digital-real economy integration outcomes critically shape regional high-quality development. Using 308 panel data from cities within this agglomeration, this study systematically examines the impact and mechanisms of digital economy on new-type productive forces through fixed-effects models, mediation analysis, and spatial error models. Core variables are measured using entropy values, with industrial upgrading and rationalization serving as mediating variables. Control variables including population size and total factor productivity are incorporated, with conclusions validated through triple robustness tests. Addressing regional development bottlenecks, the study proposes optimization pathways across four dimensions—technological innovation, factor allocation, industrial integration, and institutional coordination—providing empirical support and policy recommendations for empowering new-type productive forces through digital economy development in urban agglomerations.
