This paper constructs a comprehensive evaluation index system of Hunan's digital economy development from four dimensions: digital infrastructure construction, digital industrialization development, industrial digitization development and innovation ability. The entropy weight method was used to calculate the weights of 18 proposed secondary indicators, and TOPSIS method was used to comprehensively evaluate the digital economy development level of Hunan Province from 2017 to 2021. The results show that the development level of digital economy in Hunan Province is increasing year by year, and the growth rate is obvious, but the growth rate has slowed down in the later period. Finally, based on the comprehensive evaluation results, the paper proposes to lay out "new infrastructure" from three aspects: infrastructure construction, industrial digital development and innovation ability, accelerate the construction of digital economic infrastructure and promote industrial digital transformation, building digital industrial clusters, increasing digital talent reserves and other targeted development strategies to promote Hunan's digital economy development level to a new height.
