| Since the 18 th annual conference of the National People’s Congress, innovation-driven development strategy as a country’s national strategy is aim to realize the transformation of economic development patterns. innovation-driven plays a vital role in the high-tech industrial activities。With the rapid development of the high-tech industry, the international communities generally see it as a scale of a country’s international competitiveness standard. Therefore, all countries give priority to develop the high-tech industry as one of the necessary government behavior, which is institutionalizing. To a large extent, the government’s policy contributed to the development of high-tech industry. The study of high-tech industry innovation policy, especially the transnational policy research, is to explore the relationship between innovation policy and the development of high-tech industry and design innovation policies conducive to the development of high-tech industry in China, which has become a pop task in recent years.Innovation policy as a national or regional policy mix to promote the development of innovation is a complex policy system including fiscal, tax, law, finance and other various policies. Each policy in the policy system not exists independently but interact with each other.
