Abstract
Technological innovation and progress is the fundamental driving force to achieve high-quality development. Using the entropy weight method, improved TOPSIS Model, and obstacle degree model, this paper explored the spatial pattern evolution and obstacle factors of Foshan's innovation ability. The results showed that: (1) In the dimension of innovation, Sanshui District had good primary conditions for innovation. The proportion of innovation input rose; Nanhai District and Shunde District had certain advantages in innovation input and output. (2) In terms of spatial distribution, the innovation ability decreased from south to north, and the East was higher than the West; the innovation ability level of Shunde District was the highest, and Gaoming District was the cold zone of innovation activities. (3) The obstacle degree of innovation environment was the biggest, the critical dimension affecting Foshan's innovation ability, but it was generally on the decline; the obstacle degree of innovation output rose.
