Within times of knowledge economy, knowledge capital has been the basic elements for survival and development of a country, region or economic organization. Sustained economic prosperity has been not directly depending on the scale stock of resources, capital and technology, but increasingly on the knowledge capital increment originated from the production, diffusion, accumulation and application of knowledge, technology and information. As the game between globalization and regionalization,'Silicon Valley','Hsinchu' and 'Zhongguancun' have built lots of advantages owing to their perfect regional innovation systems (RIS).Regional innovation system, rooting in the economic, social and ecological environment of certain space, works on a series of function mechanism including inner-organization learning, inter-organization diffusion and inner-system spillover. Meanwhile, all kinds of innovation subjects establishing a stable relationship then forms finely economic and social complexes under the dual power of the internal and external. Knowledge is considered as the basic motive of the regional innovation system and obviously accelerating knowledge's production, diffusion and the materialization can be the primary objective to promote the evolution of regional innovation system. This process is contributed to a path, that innovation elements converging to innovation subjects, innovation subjects closing to innovation pole, innovation poles evolving to innovation pole-symbiotic and several symbiotic formatting regional innovation system, and the path reflects the internal mechanism that microscopic innovation activities build up as macroscopic innovation system. In system's evolution process, innovation organization quantity, scale and outer environment keep changing, and finally effects on regional economic development by means of knowledge capital's formation, diffusion and use. In its nature, the evolution of regional innovation system is the substance elements and knowledge capital's multi-level and multi-channel allocation process in a certain social economic relationship network, and the evolutionary path from hatching, growth, maturity, until recession or continuous innovation is the process substance elements and knowledge capital realize innovation and their value through innovation system. To a certain extent, infinite pursuit of production system to commodity value and consumption system to commodity use value gives regional innovation system great power for continuously development and integral transition.As underdeveloped area, systematic innovation strategy, relying on existing industrial development foundation, is considered necessary and urgent to increase economic increase quality and accelerate regional development speed in western are of China But we must pay attention to the condition, including high input-output concentration, strong state-owned innovation resources, low market conversion rate of R&D achievements, mainly contribution of universities and research institutions, and small innovation output elasticity, so that the external force leading to accelerate regional innovation system's evolution process with institution design and policy guidance as the main contents could be the inevitable choice in West China. Based on qualitative and quantitative analysis, this paper argues that the regional innovation system in west China resorts in hatch stage still, but which was founded in Sichuan, Shaanxi and Chongqing has entered growth stage. In other provinces, Guangxi, Yunnan and Inner Mongolia are most likely to break into growth stage. Based on this, the paper put forwards to put emphasis on four transprovincially regional innovation system in western region, including Chengdu-Chongqing RIS, Xi'an-Lanzhou RIS, Nanning- Guiyang-Kunming RIS, and Hohhot-Baotou-Yinchuan RIS.Evolution mechanism's distemperedness and efficiency, as the final result of economic system obstacle, subject misplacement, market development lag, factors' allocation difficulty and investment inequacy, is the main obstacle to the innovation system evolution in western regional. For this reason, to improve and couple a series of mechanism in the formation and operation process of regional innovation system, and to make them act on innovation activities uninterruptedly, could be the key to eliminate the evolution obstacle in western regional innovation system. In order to connect enterprise-collage-research, synchronous optimize industrial structure, coordination between industrialization and urbanization, and cultivate advantaged innovation region, the governments should strengthen the leading role through a series of institutions, policies and measures, mainly involving perfecting the policy support system, constructing innovation channel-network, promoting industrial structure's upgrading, strengthening innovation investment, quickening human capital's construction, optimizing market environment and perfecting the urban network system. The main objective in a relatively long time can be described as integrating innovation resources, cultivating innovation elements, and promoting the evolution of four key regional innovation systems, gradually forming the whole framework of regional innovation system in west China.
