Abstract Science and technology service industry is an indispensable part of regional innovation system. With its strong advantages in knowledge, technology, talents, experience and information, it empowers regional scientific and technological progress and economic development, and becomes an important symbol to measure the innovation ability of a region and even a country in the era of knowledge economy. However, how can the science and technology service industry stimulate the vitality of regional innovation? How can science and technology service industry be promoted to better enhance regional innovation capability? These are important questions puzzling the academic and practical circles at present. It helps local governments by opening the "mechanism black box" of the interactive relationship between the development of science and technology service industry and the promotion of regional innovation capability so as to formulate and adjust the development strategy and incentive policies of science and technology service industry in the region more scientifically and rationally, and fully stimulate the vitality of regional innovation.#br#Researchers have been exploring how the development of science and technology service industry promotes the promotion of regional innovation capability. Research at home and abroad are mainly from two aspects: influencing path and influencing factors. Most of the existing literatures use the mathematical model of "one cause to one effect" or "multiple causes to one effect" for analysis, ignoring the interaction between antecedent variables. However its explanatory power is still not strong. QCA method can make up for the above defects by using configuration to express different combinations of dependent variables, and greatly improve the explanatory power of causality, which is more in line with the real face of reality. Therefore, from the perspective of configuration, this paper uses fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis method to analyze the configuration of various elements, and studies the influence path of the development of science and technology service industry to promote the promotion of regional innovation capability in the hope of providing theoretical basis for further improving the regional innovation ecosystem of provinces and cities in China.#br#This paper takes 31 provinces (cities and districts) as samples, selects seven condition variables of technology, talents, capital, market, industry, infrastructure and policy, and draws the following conclusions. (1) Science and technology service industry can promote regional innovation ability through technology, talents, capital, market, industry, infrastructure, policies and other factors, but the results of fsQCA show that science and technology service industry cannot achieve the effect of promoting regional innovation ability through one of the single variables. Therefore, it is very necessary to explore the role of science and technology service industry in promoting regional innovation capability from the perspective of configuration. (2) Technology, market and industry are the core conditions to promote the promotion of regional innovation ability, and their changing combinations play a key role in different condition configurations. (3) Around the three core conditions of technology, market and industry, this paper sums up five paths for the development of science and technology service industry to promote regional innovation ability into four modes: technology + market + industry-driven, technology + industry-driven, market-driven, technology + market-driven.#br#Due to the different economic levels, geographical location, resource endowment, industrial bases, development opportunities and other factors in different regions, the development levels of science and technology service industry are various, which also makes the effect and path of science and technology service industry to enhance regional innovation capability different. Therefore, each region should first identify the blocking points and difficulties that plague the development of science and technology service industry according to the development status of the region's science and technology service industry. Then, according to the specific situation of the region, it is vital to choose and adjust the development mode of science and technology service industry, and give policy guidance and support from technology, market and industry, so as to continuously stimulate the vitality of regional innovation.#br#
