Based　on　the　connotation　and　elements　analysis　of　the　regional　technology　innovation　capability　and　the　existing　research　results,　an　initial　comprehensive　evaluation　indicator　system　is　formed,　which　avoids　missing　;　then,　an　evaluation　indicator　identification　framework　of　the　regional　technology　innovation　capability　is　established　through　expert　appraisal,　relative　analysis,　discrimination　analysis　and　the　effectiveness　analysis　of　the　indicator　rules;　meanwhile　a　more　comprehensive,　reliable　and　effective　evaluation　indicator　system　is　developed　for　the　regional　technology　innovation　capability.　Finally　the　effectiveness　of　the　indicator　system　is　verified　by　using　several　comprehensive　evaluation　methods.　©　2008　IEEE.
