Abstract

This paper takes the establishment and completion outcomes of college students’ innovation and entrepreneurship projects from a certain university over the past five years as the research object, exploring the mechanisms and pathways of synergy between innovation and entrepreneurship programs and local industrial development. Using the Jingdezhen ceramic industry as a case study, it analyzes the role of university innovation and entrepreneurship projects in promoting industrial technological upgrading, cultural dissemination, talent retention, and regional economic growth. The paper proposes building a support system through mechanisms of university-local cooperation, educational frameworks, industrial ecosystems, and policy environments, aiming to provide feasible pathways for integrating university innovation and entrepreneurship education with the revitalization of traditional local industries.
