Abstract:     Under the new background of institutional opening up, the proposition of China′s goals of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality and its high-quality development goals determine that the construction of the eco-innovation network is imperative. The eco-innovation network is conducive to the cooperation between different enterprises to carry out green R&D activities and is crucial for manufacturing enterprises to integrate and use the complex ecosystem of environmental protection technologies. From the two theoretical perspectives of innovation collaboration network and innovation ecosystem, this paper took the eco-innovation network as the research object, analyzed its connotation and characteristics, and constructed an ecological innovation network model based on the triple helix theory of innovation. Then, the evolutionary logic of the eco-innovation network was discussed based on the hyper-cycle theory, which provides a valuable reference for the construction of the ecological innovation network of manufacturing enterprises and for the green and efficient development.The main conclusions of this research include the following aspects:First, the eco-innovation network is an informal organization based on open innovation, with green ecology as the core, which aims to tap the advantages of all parties to achieve efficient ecological innovation and improve the organization′s environmental benefits and sustainable development capabilities.Second, the eco-innovation network includes three types of subjects: government, university, and enterprise. The three types of subjects are the key components of the eco-innovation network, and their spiral interaction in the field of eco-innovation forms a positive ecological innovation pattern; The innovation collaboration network and innovation ecosystem jointly form two supporting modules of the eco-innovation network, which are controlled by universities and core enterprises respectively. The innovation collaboration network is committed to the creation of clean and green production technologies and knowledge sharing; The innovation ecosystem focuses on building a comprehensive business model and management model for sustainable development. The eco-innovation network includes internal network (political network, scientific network, industrial network, etc.) and external network (financial network, intermediary network, professional network, etc.). The internal network is a strong relationship network formed by the three core subjects, leading the operation of the ecological innovation network; The external network is a kind of auxiliary weak relationship network, which mainly serves the smooth operation of the internal network.Third, the eco-innovation network is open, ecological, efficient and dynamic. The open feature reflects the fuzzy boundary characteristics of the eco-innovation network, which is conducive to the environmental adaptation and extension of the eco-innovation network; the ecological feature reflects that the core objective of the eco-innovation network is to increase the value of eco-innovation, aiming to promote the research, development, production, and application of eco-innovation products; the efficient feature reflects the high-efficiency use of eco-innovation resources and more output of eco-innovation products by the eco-innovation network; the dynamic feature reflects the organizational flexibility of the eco-innovation network, which is conducive to the adjustment of its organizational structure and the relationship between its members.Fourth, the eco-innovation network follows the evolutionary logic from the reaction cycle to the catalytic cycle and then to the hypercycle. The joint evolution and symbiotic coupling of innovation collaboration networks and innovation ecosystems, as important catalytic cycles in the network, promote the formation of the hypercycle of the eco-innovation network, while the relevant management mechanisms catalyze the evolution of the eco-innovation network from the reaction cycle, the catalytic cycle to the hypercycle, and continue to promote the optimization and upgrading of the eco-innovation network, forming a wider and more efficient network structure.Finally, the paper put forward relevant policy recommendations. For example, we should correctly understand the triple helix development pattern of government, university, and enterprise in the eco-innovation network, and pay attention to the formation of an eco-innovation consortium guided by governments, supported by universities and driven by enterprises; we should focus on building two modules of innovation collaboration network and innovation ecosystem in advance; we should pay attention to the relationship between the internal network and the external network in the eco-innovation network, and cultivate good conditions for the construction of the eco-innovation network through the selection and arrangement of the system and the cultivation of organizational practices and culture; and we should also focus on the creation and optimization of the management mechanism within the organization, and promote the evolution of the eco-innovation network.
