Promoting the integration of industry chain and innovation chain is an important implementation path to promote industrial transformation and upgrading, as well as high-quality economic development. Xianyang City has made significant progress in the integration of industry chain and innovation chain, but still faces challenges such as insufficient local transformation of scientific and technological achievements and limited technology transfer capacity. To further enhance the benefits of transformation of scientific and technological achievements, deepen the integration of innovation chain and industry chain, and realize the benign interaction between technology and industry, we use a coupling coordination degree model and a grey correlation degree model to quantitatively analyze the coupling development of the industry chain and innovation chain in Xianyang City. The results show that: With the overall development of Xianyang City, (1) the industry chain and innovation chain have gradually transitioned from low-level imbalanced development to high-level balanced development; (2) The coupling and coordination of the industry chain and innovation chain are showing a good upward trend; (3) Compared to the industry chain, the elements of the innovation chain contribute more to the overall level of coupling and coordination between the innovation chain and the industry chain, that is, the innovation chain has a higher degree of impact on coupled development.
