With the rapid development of technology, modern technology is showing complex and integrated features. It is difficult for individual enterprises to ensure their technology innovation superiority with their own ability and resources. Especially for small and medium enterprises (SMEs), their disadvantages in innovative resources restrict their technological innovation and development. In addition, the trend of "open innovation" in the global brings about greater challenges to SMEs in developing countries. Also, as the obvious innovation advantages of clusters, their development is attracting more and more attention from the government and theory circle, while advantages of innovation resources sharing are likely to cause cluster rigidity, and limit their competitive advantages.As an effective way to achieve complementary advantages and ultimately optimum, synergy innovation can solve the above problems. Being an important part of the cluster, SMEs can choose synergy innovation with other individuals in the cluster, which not only can cover the shortage of resources and capabilities, but also give full play to their advantages of flexible innovation, and improve other individual's innovations conversion efficiency. Finally, with the effect of synergy innovation, the innovation ability of the whole cluster is enhanced and capability for rapid response to market competition and demand of clusters is improved.Before getting down to promote SMEs'synergy innovation in the cluster, the promoting and impeding factors should be identified, while it's the problems to solve in the paper. In the paper, firstly, the concepts of SMEs and synergy innovation are defined based on the relevant theories as the starting point. Secondly, influencing factors of SMEs synergy innovation in clusters are identified, and the interpretative structural model is established to distinguish the level of the various factors. On this basis, the relational model of SMEs synergy innovation is built. Thirdly, after the corresponding hypotheses are arrived at, the questionnaire survey and the corresponding analytical methods are combined to help analyze the effects of each influencing factor on the process of SMEs'synergy innovation of clusters in depth. Finally, based on the above research conclusions, some suggestions are put forward to provide some references for the development of SMEs synergy innovation in clusters and the innovation development of the whole cluster.
