This study examines the industry-university-research (IUR) policies in Gansu Province using policy instruments and a two-dimensional analytical framework grounded in the innovation value chain. The results reveal that the existing policies positively influence the collaborative innovation among industry, academia, and research sectors. Nevertheless, there is a need to reinforce policies during the industrialization stage and to enhance those supporting informatization. This paper suggests policy recommendations aimed at bolstering IUR-related policies in Gansu Province and promoting collaborative innovation. The findings aspire to contribute to the development of a more robust and dynamic policy ecosystem. They provide theoretical support and practical guidance for Gansu and similar regions to achieve innovation-driven sustainable development. Furthermore, this study offers valuable insights for policy stakeholders, including businesses, academic institutions, and government decision-makers, on how to effectively stimulate and harness the region's innovation potential through policy measures.
