This paper uses a data-experience analysis framework to reflect the results and gaps with data, and reveals measures with experience, observes the long-term evolution of enterprise innovation capabilities in typical innovative countries such as the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, and Japan, and studies the practices of typical innovative countries in improving enterprise innovation capabilities. The research shows that the R&D expenditure of Chinese enterprises is relatively high, and the proportion of R&D expenditure is among the highest, but the investment of enterprises in basic research is less and the investment from other countries is less. Typical innovative countries have generally adopted measures to improve the innovation ability of enterprises, such as introducing incentive policies in a timely manner, encouraging small and medium-sized enterprises to research and development, and focusing on efficient joint division of labor. Finally, some suggestions are put forward to encourage enterprises to invest in R&D at the front-end of innovation, strengthen the policy orientation of paying for innovation, and build an enterprise-led scientific and technological achievement transformation system in an organized scientific research mode.
