Role of factor agglomeration in promoting regional innovation capability contributes to the shift from an extensive economic growth mode to an intensive economic growth mode. This paper takes China's provinces for example, analyzes the spatial variation of physical capital agglomeration, human capital agglomeration, energy footprint intensity and environmental regulation level influencing regional innovation capability using GWR model. The results show that, capital deepening of physical capital agglomeration doesnot transform into technology deepening, not promoting regional innovation capability. Human capital agglomeration through spillover effects enhances knowledge creation and knowledge acquisition, showing significant positive impact on promoting regional innovation capacity. Energy footprint intensity has a significant passive effect on regional innovation capacity. Environmental regulation has a dual effect on regional innovation capability, and current environmental regulation policy is not conducive to improvement of regional innovation capability, while incentives role of the pre-environmental regulation on regional innovation is highlighted to make up, even more than the negative environmental cost effect. There is a huge spatial heterogeneity in influence strength of human capital agglomeration, energy footprint intensity and current environmental regulation on regional innovation capability.
