In the era of accelerating the cultivation of new-type productive forces, exploring the relationship between talent cultivation in higher education and regional innovation helps optimize the positioning and resource allocation of higher education, and enables the high-quality development of new-type productive forces. This study empirically explores the impact of talent cultivation in higher education on regional innovation based on panel data from 283 cities in China from 2011 to 2021. The study found that talent cultivation in higher education is an important driving force for regional innovation in new-type productive forces, and its positive impact effect remains robust after using instrumental variables to alleviate endogeneity issues. Based on the above research results, this study proposes the following policy recommendations to promote the development of regional innovation: Firstly, strengthen the integration of industry-university-research cooperation between universities and regional innovation. Universities should actively approach regional innovation practices, closely align with the development needs of regional industries, optimize talent cultivation programs, and aim to cultivate innovative talents required by new-type productive forces. Secondly, strengthen the talent cultivation model in universities in the digital and intelligent era, and promote the construction of the "1236" education system. Thirdly, deepen talent cultivation through scientific research in universities. Scientific research is a basic function of universities, and the most cutting-edge technological innovations are the foundation of universities. In the era of digital intelligence, digital intelligence science and technology brought by university scientific research is the key to cultivating new-type productive forces. the era of cultivating new-type productive forces, exploring the relationship between talent cultivation in higher education and regional innovation helps optimize the positioning and resource allocation of higher education and empower the high-quality development of new-type productive forces. This study empirically explores the impact of talent cultivation in higher education on regional innovation based on panel data from 283 cities in China from 2011 to 2021. The study found that talent cultivation in higher education is an important driving force for regional innovation in new-type productive forces, and its positive impact effect remains robust after using instrumental variables to alleviate endogeneity issues. Based on the above research results, this article proposes the following policy recommendations to promote the development of regional innovation: Highlight the key supporting role of universities in new-type productive forces-driven regional innovation; Construct a new-type productive forces talent cultivation system characterized by digitization; Implement differentiated industry-university-research collaborative innovation strategies; Optimize the allocation of higher education resources in key areas of regional innovation development.
