As an important component of new-type infrastructure, industrial Internet has been paid great attention by policies at all levels because of its enabling characteristics, and has gradually become an important engine for the integration and development of digital economy and real economy, which has aroused widespread concern in academic circles and formed fruitful research results. However, the existing research shows the characteristics of "wide but scattered perspective, many achievements but less focus", which is not conducive to the in-depth study of industrial Internet empowerment issues and the in-depth promotion of related policies and practices. Therefore, this paper systematically sorts out the relevant literatures on the empowerment mechanism and effects of industrial Internet. Firstly, it clarifies the scientific connotation of industrial Internet, its platform and architecture; Secondly, the empowerment mechanism of industrial Internet is refined from the perspectives of micro-enterprise, meso-industrial chain and macro-industrial agglomeration, and on this basis, the empowerment effects of industrial Internet such as enterprise intelligent transformation effect, manufacturing transformation and upgrading effect and industrial transformation effect are summarized. Finally, according to the characteristics of the existing research, especially the shortcomings, some suggestions and prospects for future expandable research are put forward.
