Abstract


This study aimed to assess the effects of demographics on the performance of digital economy innovation platforms in Fujian province, analyze how government policies and corporate collaboration influence their performance, and identify the barriers and challenges involved in establishing and developing effective platforms. The research framework was developed based on the Balanced Scorecard (BSC) model, integrating efficiency and innovation capacity as key performance indicators. The convenience sampling method was employed to collect data from 400 respondents across various sectors of the company, who are actively engaged in the digital economy ecosystem. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistical methods, including frequency, percentage, mean, and standard deviation. The inferential statistical methods used were the independent sample t-test, one-way ANOVA, and multiple linear regression, all at a statistical significance level of 0.05. The analysis results indicate that the differences in age and work experience have a significant effect on performance   in   digital   economy   innovation   platforms.   Government policies, including financial incentives, regulatory frameworks, and strategic guidance, all contribute to platform performance. The regulatory framework has the most decisive influence, followed by strategic guidance and financial incentives. Corporate collaboration, encompassing joint research and development as well as partnership alliances, has a significant influence on the performance of digital economy innovation platforms. Notably, partnerships and alliances exert a more substantial influence compared to joint research and development. The research recommends a comprehensive approach to enhance platform performance, including strengthening the regular framework and promoting partnership and alliance efforts. Additionally, the study highlights the need for institutional reforms, resource integration, and the establishment of strategic alliances to build a robust digital economy ecosystem in Fujian Province
