The development of high-tech industries has become an important manifestation of the scientific and technological strength and innovation development of each country. Based on the spatial Durbin model, an empirical study was conducted on the spatial spillover effects of high-tech industry agglomeration on technological innovation in 11 provinces and cities in the Yangtze River Economic Belt from 2010 to 2020. It is found that the agglomeration degree of the Yangtze River Economic Belt is in the eastern, northwestern, central and southwestern regions in descending order; there is a positive spatial autocorrelation effect between the agglomeration of high-tech industries and technological innovation capacity, but this relationship is gradually weakening; there is a significant positive spatial spillover effect of the agglomeration of high-tech industries on improving technological innovation capacity, and this effect is more obvious between regions.
