In the context of the accelerating global technological revolution and industrial transformation, the coordinated development of technological innovation and industrial policies has become a key factor in regional high-quality development. This paper takes the Xiangjiang New Area as an example to explore the interactive mechanisms between industrial policies and technological innovation, and constructs a dynamic analysis framework of “policy supply-innovation-driven-industrial upgrading-response dptimization”. The study shows that Xiangjiang New Area has achieved significant results in policy system construction and innovation capacity enhancement, but still needs optimization in terms of policy coordination, precision, and dynamism. Drawing on the experiences of other new areas, it is proposed that optimization should be advanced from aspects such as policy coordination, technology finance, innovation platforms, talent mechanisms, and institutional guarantees, in order to build an efficient “policy-innovation-industry” coordination mechanism to promote the high-quality development of regional economies.
