Founded in the 1990s, the Beijing Liven Innovation S&T Consulting Center (hereinafter referred to as Liven Center) specializes in the field of scientific and technological innovation, as well as monitoring, evaluation, and related research in the economic and social domain. Leveraging theoretical innovation and practical experience, the Liven Center serves society by disseminating research findings, sharing theoretical knowledge, and providing data services and is committed to assisting government departments, relevant institutions and researchers in carrying out various forms of research activities with professional standards. The "Liven Evaluation" website is established and maintained by our Center. It serves as a platform for research institutions and individual researchers to exchange results, seek data services, and display achievements. We are willing to start with "establishing words", strive to provide high-quality services for all sectors of society, and then reach the realm of "establishing merits" and "establishing virtue".
This report is developed by our Center for the relevant departments of the Ministry of Science and Technology. It stands as a specialized annual evaluation report that was the earliest to be launched in China, has the longest continuous history, and maintains the most stable evaluation framework.The report's development and release are incorporated into the National Innovation Survey System, garnering widespread attention from various sectors of society.
This report is developed by our Center for the relevant departments of the Ministry of Science and Technology. The report provides systematically organized, clearly sourced, and reliable data services for regional and urban innovation evaluation. Covering nearly 100 metrics across 300 prefecture-level cities, the report offers robust S&T innovation data support for science and technology management authorities and the broader society.
Based on the European Innovation Scoreboard, this report conducts a comparative assessment that bridges 20 key cities and 30 emerging cities in China with various European economies. The annual report has garnered attention and citations from multiple media outlets, including Dragon TV and the Xuexi Qiangguo Platform. The report stands as an exemplar of collaborative research involving science and technology management departments and research institutions across multiple cities.
This report is an industrial monitoring report independently developed by our Center. Based on a distinctive monitoring framework for industrial development quality that centers on operational quality and output efficiency, the report evaluates the Science and Technology Innovation capability of regional high-tech industries, high-tech enterprises, and high-growth enterprises.
These reports are developed by our Center for local government departments and relevant institutions. Designed to address the specific management needs of local governments while aligning with national research priorities, the reports establish distinctive local monitoring and evaluation frameworks to conduct monitoring and evaluation of scientific and technological innovation and high-quality development in prefecture-level cities and county-level cities.
This report is developed by our Center for government departments in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region. Building on a distinctive interpretation of "collaboration", the report establishes a results-oriented evaluation framework, leverages big data technologies to extract collaboration-related data, and assesses regional innovation synergies in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei area using The Yangtze River Delta as a benchmark.
Researchers at our center have long focused on productivity studies, establishing the Center as one of China's most authoritative institutions in this field. We have translated the Measuring Productivity - OECD Manual with official authorization from the OECD, and drawing on this foundation, have published the application-oriented Handbook of Total Factor Productivity Measurement. Our research outcomes include core academic papers, projects certified under the National Soft Science program, and numerous regional projects.
Based on the OECD database framework, we have developed a unique domestic productivity database. The database includes data on labor productivity, TFP growth rates, factor contribution, TFP contribution, and capital deepening—all derived from various factor inputs. The database provides comprehensive coverage at the national level, all provincial-level regions, sub-provincial cities, provincial capitals, and prefecture-level cities, as well as the three major industries, industry, manufacturing, and key sectors.
Long committed to supporting R&D efforts for IP departments at all levels, our center ranks among China’s most authoritative research institutions in the field. We employ methodologies from developed economies to define the scope of IP-intensive industries at national and local levels, analyze the economic and social contributions and industrial development characteristics of IP-intensive industries, and focus on valuing intangible assets such as intellectual property, as well as conducting TFP research on IP-intensive industries.
We have built a distinctive IP database, unique in China to date, which integrates industry-level data across IP, sci-tech innovation, and socioeconomic development from varied statistical sources. It covers all regions nationwide—including provinces, sub-provincial cities, provincial capitals, and prefecture-level cities—as well as key entities such as enterprises, universities, research institutes, and public institutions.
Statistical indicators are concepts that reflect the quantitative attributes of objective phenomena, serving as the fundamental premise and starting point for all data analysis. Through the judgments and inferences derived from statistical indicators, new perspectives and knowledge about objective phenomena can be obtained. As the foundation of research and management, indicator studies are increasingly valued by all sectors of society, particularly by science and technology management departments.
Research on innovation indicators can be divided into two categories: first, the study of the functions and characteristics of innovation indicators themselves; second, the application of innovation indicators to examine the operational status and patterns of relevant entities. Liven Center has made valuable contributions in both areas.
Our Center supports preliminary studies for medium- and long-term plans by science and technology management departments at all levels, conducting predictive analysis of planning indicators such as R&D expenditure. Guided by the OECD's Frascati Manual and employing a combination of multiple forecasting models, our research projects undergo rigorous backtesting to validate the soundness and effectiveness of our predictions.
The seamless integration and presentation of language, data, tables, and graphics has become an important and widely adopted data analysis method in recent years. Building on its extensive collection of structured data, Liven Center has skillfully combined data with mapping as a key format for showcasing innovation achievements and conducting structural analysis—an approach that has gained recognition from government departments and research institutions at all levels.
Liven Data Platform （www.liyan.org.cn） 
Centered on science and technology innovation monitoring and evaluation data, Liven Data brings together high-value datasets accumulated through long-term research activities. These datasets cover national, provincial, and various city levels, as well as data from major countries and regions worldwide. Liven Data Platform is organized into five modules: Recommended Data, Innovation Monitoring & Evaluation Data, Total Factor Productivity (TFP) Data, Intellectual Property Data, and Science and Technology Innovation Data.
