Abstract: Based on the perspective of historical analysis, this paper refines the three stages of  innovation policy evolution, makes it clear that the current is in the transformation stage of innovation policy, and explores the connotation of transformation innovation policy through theoretical analysis. Using the theory of policy paradigm change, it tries to clarify the transformation  logic and core driving force of transformative innovation policy, so as to provide possible theoretical support for transformative innovation policy. Combined with the double dysfunction faced by China's transformative innovation policy in the transformation logic, relevant countermeasure  suggestions are put forward. Firstly, the historical development of innovation policy is sorted out. Innovation policy has  gone through three stages of development: from innovation policy 1.0, innovation policy 2.0 to innovation policy 3.0. The relationship between these three stages is not one of replacing or being  replaced, but rather, the latter continuously develops and iterates based on the former, so as to  be more attuned to the needs of the times and to solve the real problems. Secondly, the concept of transformative innovation policy is clarified. "Transformative innovation policy" refers to the emphasis on institutional and organisational behavioural change and  innovation in addition to science and technology under the dual role of market failure and system  failure. It focuses on both the supply-side policy of innovation and the demand-side policy that  affects the diffusion and final application of innovation. Thirdly, the restructuring logic and core driving force of transformative innovation policy  are clarified. The transition of transformative innovation policy paradigm should be based on the  innovation process, the innovation subject, innovation activities and innovation mode constitute  the restructuring logic of transformative innovation policy paradigm. The transformation of the  key elements of the policy paradigm is the core driving force in the policy paradigm, including  policy issues, policy goals and policy tools, and the interrelationship of the elements within the  core driving force drives the transformation policy paradigm forward. Finally, suggestions are put forward to promote the optimization of China's transformation  and innovation policy. In light of the double dysfunctions faced by China's transformation inno vation policy in the logic of transformation, China should focus on the reconstruction of the trans - - formation innovation policy paradigm and construct an extensive network of innovation subjects It should also strengthen the coherence of policy objectives and the flexibility of policy tools, . so  as to give full play to the comprehensive coordinating function of transformation and innovation  policies. Expanding public participation, and establishing an effective mechanism for public participation.
