Firstly, this paper makes theoretical analysis on the internal and external factors of collaborative innovation and their operational mechanism among SMEs. Secondly, relative study hypotheses are made based on the above analysis. Thirdly, on the basis of analysis of questionnaire survey and statistics of sample data, an empirical test is made on how driving factors work on collaborative innovation among SMEs. The study reveals that internal factors such as collaborative innovation willingness, capability of obtaining funds and human resources as well as the external factors such as government support and diffusion and application of technological innovation have positive effect on collaborative innovation among SMEs. Factor of market competition pressure has positive but not significant correlation. Finally, measures are suggested at the end of the paper to boost development of collaborative innovation among SMEs.
