Scientific Focus: Open Source Innovation and Open Source Paradigm

Abstract

Open source is emerging as a new paradigm and a crucial driving force for technological innovation and industrial development. It is shaping new impetus for the development of the digital economy, promoting the construction of an innovation ecosystem in the digital era, and it also serves as an effective path for Chinese enterprises to catch up in technology and industry. Through investigations and literature research, this study discovers that Chinese enterprises have achieved remarkable progress in the field of open source, with the scale of participation continuously expanding and the influence steadily increasing. Nevertheless, they still face numerous challenges in terms of technical capabilities, intellectual property management, cultural adaptability, and policy support. This study analyzes the current situation and challenges of Chinese enterprises’ participation in open source and proposes strengthening policy guidance from five aspects: optimizing the participation structure, improving the support system, perfecting the governance system, deepening international cooperation, and innovating the dissemination of culture.
