Abstract Through the theoretical analysis of collaborative innovation and triple helix, this paper puts forward and expounds the members' diversity of collaborative innovation network and its two dimensions. Using patent data of 452 high-tech listed companies in China manufacturing industry, this paper studies the impact of members' diversity of collaborative innovation network on exploratory innovation, and thereafter investigates the mediating role of technology diversification on the relationship between them. The empirical test indicates that the diversity of members (subject diversity and regional diversity) have a positive impact on exploratory innovation. Technology diversification plays a completely mediating role in the relationship between subject diversity and exploratory innovation, and also plays a partial mediating role in the relationship between regional diversity and exploratory innovation.
