In the context of economic globalization, the locality of economy development, has not been eliminated but became more obvious. The regionalization of economic development is an significant trend. Striving for competitive advantage during regional development is an important subject on regional economy development. While traditional location factors played gradually weaker roles in economic development, the innovation ability affects regional economic development and comprehensive competitive power more and more deeply. These have been development strategies in many regions to construct regional innovation system and to improve the regional innovative capacity. It is an effective way for a region to achieve competitive advantages through constructing an regional innovation system, reasonably allocating limited resources in a certain region and improving innovation efficiency.Distinct regional characteristics within an industry cluster have a tremendous influence on regional economic development. Aggregation, embeddedness, network structure and other characteristics contained in an industry cluster make it have distinctive advantages in innovation. Industrial clusters and regional innovation systems associate closely together because of their relevancy in aspects such as region, structure, function and etc. Since an industrial cluster can be as a carrier of an regional innovation system, the latter can gradually set up by promoting the development of industrial clusters. This article researched on industrial clusters from the horizon of the construction of an regional innovation system.Construction of industrial cluster-based regional innovation system is studied by theory with practice in the thesis, on the basis of the theory of innovation system and industrial clusters, taking Shouguang vegetable industrial cluster as an example. It is concluded that Shouguang vegetable production industry has obvious advantages through judgment of Shouguang vegetable industrial cluster by location quotient. We consider that the natural conditions, cooperation needs caused by technical separability, the pursuit of agglomeration economies and government support contribute to the formation of Shouguang vegetable industrial cluster by analyzing. In vegetable production structure, Shouguang vegetable production is concentrated in central and southern towns, and has high level of specialization. Fanners-vegetable production base, agricultural production material enterprises, leading enterprises in vegetable production, auxiliary enterprises, scientific research institutions, education and training institutions, intermediary service agencies, government constitute the framework of the regional innovation system based on Shouguang vegetable industrial cluster. Construction situation of innovation subject such as leading enterprises in vegetable production, scientific research institutions, education and training institutions is elaborated. The present situation of the construction of regional innovation system is introduced from the organization innovation, technology innovation, system innovation, management and service innovation. The innovation ability of regional innovation system based on Shouguang vegetable industrial cluster is evaluated by applying additive synthesis model. We select 11 indicators such as new product value, science and technology activities personnel number to constitute evaluation index system. With the aid of reduced-order function of SPSS 16.0 software, We perform a factor analysis on primitive indexes, extract main factors and endow weight to single-item indicators in additive synthesis model. It is concluded that the regional innovative capacity of Shouguang rank second in 12 counties of Weifang by quantitative analysis. In conclusion, Shouguang has a regional innovation superiority with the support of regional innovation system based on Shouguang vegetable industrial cluster.
