How local universities as a main part of higher education of our country should integrate into local development and serve local economy and society has become a hot spot and an important point paid close attention by local universities.The development of local economic society can hardly do without the support of local universities in talent and technique, meanwhile, the local government support and economic also play a significant role in the development of local universities. As the211-Project provincial college and one of the most influential universities in Anhui province, Anhui University has greatly promoted the development of local economic and provided necessary high-quality workforce to local economic development. It’s the major driving force in local technological innovation and construction of local software environment. While providing a material basis for the development of Anhui University, the local economic development also restricts the development of Anhui University in the aspect of scale, speed and structure. Hence, collaborative innovation is the inevitable choice for colleges to serve local economic when dealing with the relationship between local economic and college development.During the process of boosting social service, there are many constraints for Anhui university, such as the aspect of national macro policy, local government and local enterprises, however, the university itself also exists some problems which mainly appear in talent cultivation, subject construction, natural science research and service mechanism. It is urged to combine the two factors which are the improvement of external environment and self-service capacity, so as to get a better promotion for Anhui University to serve local economic development. On the macro policy aspect, we should perfect the relevant national laws and regulations, implement the school-running autonomy in local colleges, and make specialized assessment criteria for the local colleges and universities. The Local government should step up its policy support and funding to Anhui University, build "Anhui University think tank" brand and take the initiative to guide, coordinate and promote university-enterprise cooperation. Besides, the local enterprises need change their thinking and focus on long-term cooperation with Anhui University which is based on their respective advantages in order to strengthen the combination of production, teaching and research. As for the enhancement of self-service capacity of Anhui University, the first step is to set up a correct service concept, and then to improve service mechanism, beyond that, it should optimize specialized structure and speed up the transformation of scientific and technological achievements.
