Abstract In recent years, international trade game is becoming more and more intense with the reshaping of global industrial chain and value chain. Technological powers in a technological monopoly position hold key technologies in core fields firmly, while late-developing countries are increasingly difficult and uncertain to obtain innovation achievements through external channels in the process of promoting their own industrial and value chains. Therefore, the key measures to deal with the uncertainty of the current international economic environment are revitalizing the stock of existing domestic technological achievements effectively, activating the vitality of innovation resources, and enhancing the diffusion effect of regional innovation, and they are of great significance to ensure the steady progress of China′s innovation-driven development strategy and the realization of high-quality development.#br#Therefore this study takes The Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region as a spatial scope to explore the diffusion effect of regional innovation at the urban scale. First, the significance of the innovation diffusion effect of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei urban agglomeration is tested by constructing a spatial econometric model covering multiple innovation links such as basic R&D investment, absorption and transformation investment, and innovation achievement output. Secondly, it explores whether the impact of innovation activities in multiple innovation links on regional economic growth has changed significantly before and after the implementation of the regional integration strategy, that is, it verifies whether the impact of innovation input and innovation output on economic growth of cities in urban agglomeration has changed significantly before and after a certain time point from 2012 to 2016 by introducing a structural change model.#br#The study finds that implementing regional integration strategy has a more significant spillover effect on promoting absorption and transformation in the case of imbalanced distribution of innovation resources within urban agglomerations. The internal mechanism is that the implementation of regional integration strategy effectively promotes the development of innovation intermediaries and intellectual property protection subjects in the region, and the intellectual property protection environment is continuously optimized, thus enhancing the willingness of innovation sources to export scientific and technological achievements in the region. The innovation intermediary subject can reduce the information asymmetry between the source of innovation and the hinterland of innovation to a certain extent, thus effectively promoting the trade and promotion of scientific and technological achievements. At the same time, it is also found that the implementation of regional integration strategy in the current stage cannot have a significant impact on the spillover effect of basic R&D investment. The implication is that policy should be focused on the absorption and conversion of scientific and technological achievements, especially to further optimize the intellectual property protection system and improve the innovation intermediary development ecology in the case that regional collaborative innovation is difficult to make from the basic R&D input.#br#On this basis, this study draws the following policy implications. The governments should strengthen the matching efficiency between the research and development end and the demand end, improve the construction of the intellectual property value evaluation system, and promote the efficiency of the transformation of scientific and technological achievements. Starting from the demand side, this study conducts in-depth research on the industrial development needs of Tianjin and Hebei, and explores the direction of the connection between the industrial chain and the innovation chain. As sources of innovation, Beijing's science and technology authorities, leading enterprises, academic research departments and R&D institutions should form relevant teams to conduct discussions and research on high-tech industry sectors in Tianjin and Hebei, look for subdivided industry sectors that have the ability to integrate and connect with Beijing's scientific and technological resources with the actual needs of industrial development, and gradually establish docking "nodes". Then, they should rely on the docking nodes to realize the deep integration of industrial chain and innovation chain. Starting from the supply side,the study explores the application scenarios of Beijing's science and technology innovation resources in Tianjing and Hebei. Governments of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei should focus on scenario-driven in Tianjin and Hebei, fully tap the potential value of intellectual property, and build a scientific multi-dimensional evaluation index system for intellectual property value of scientific and technological achievements, so as to make more scientific and technological achievements in Beijing (the source of innovation) applied to Tianjin and Hebei (the places where innovation is undertaken).#br#
