Abstract
Innovation is the first driving force to lead economic development, the research on firm innovation networks has recently received great attention from economic geographers, the research has gone through the process of changing from qualitative to quantitative, especially, the structural characteristics of innovation networks based on patent or paper data has become the current research focus. However, the internal formation mechanism of firm innovation networks is still not deep enough. Many scholars have introduced a multi-dimensional proximity framework to analyze the important perspective of the formation of enterprise innovation network. This paper sorts out the research hotspots from three aspects: the influencing factors of firm innovation networks, evolutionary dynamics and mechanism, and typical cases of firm innovation networks, and focuses on the operation mechanism of firm innovation networks from the perspective of multi-dimensional proximity. The results show that geography, cognitive and organizational proximity play a more important role in promoting innovation cooperation among firms. In the future, it is necessary to strengthen the related research on optimal proximity scale, substitution or complementarity of different proximity and ranking of importance.
