Abstract
Against the backdrop of the deep integration of the knowledge economy and intelligent manufacturing, innovation has become the key for enterprises to build core competitiveness. As a crucial link connecting technological innovation and industrial application, the science and technology service industry plays an important supporting role in enhancing enterprises’ innovation performance. This study focuses on intelligent manufacturing enterprises, systematically exploring the internal mechanism through which the science and technology service industry affects enterprises’ innovation performance via the mediating role of human capital. Combined with the actual development of the intelligent manufacturing industry, it proposes multi-level and systematic improvement strategies from the aspects of optimizing the supply of science and technology services, enhancing the effectiveness of human capital, and improving the innovation ecosystem, providing theoretical basis and practical reference for promoting the high-quality development of intelligent manufacturing enterprises.
