Abstract As participants of innovation activities, innovation catalysts play an important supporting role in improving the efficiency of technology innovation. However, the research on technological innovation catalytic capacity measurement is very limited. Most studies take the subjective evaluation of questionnaire surveys as the core method, lacking comprehensive and quantitative measurement tools and methods. By defining and analyzing the connotation of the catalytic capacity of technological innovation (CCTI), in this study, a two-dimensional conceptual structure model of spillover and diffusion catalysis of technology innovation (CCTS and CCTD) was proposed. Subsequently, based on the characteristics of the ranking of patent cooperative applicants and citation information, a multidimensional measurement index system was constructed from two aspects of technological catalysis strength and breadth. Further, international innovation catalysts from China, the United States, Japan, and South Korea were taken as samples to explore the differences and characteristics of their CCTI. The results show that (1) CCTI has two-order, multidimensional structural characteristics, which are further reflected in the strength and breadth of innovation catalysis, and can be measured from four indexes: contribution, quality, geographical scope, and subject scope. (2) Innovation catalysts show two kinds of capacity preferences in each dimension index and catalytic capacity; thus, Toyota Motor Corp represented the development of CCTS and CCTD at the same time while the preference of CCTD was represented by Samsung Electronics Company (SEC), while State Grid Corporation of China (SG) with high spillover catalysis-low diffusion catalysis has individual particularity. (3) CCTS of innovation catalysts in China, Japan, South Korea, and the United States decreased in order, while their CCTD ranked in the opposite direction. This study enriches the concept and measurement of CCTI, reveals the characteristics of different catalysts, and provides a new perspective and method for evaluating and selecting innovation partners.
