一、排名结果与规模概览
1. Ranking and scale
宁波集群估计人口约450万（4,504,119人），在进入百强的25个中国集群中排名第16位。在2026年世界百强创新集群排行榜中，它凭借PCT申请、科学出版物和风险投资交易三项指标的综合表现位列第87位。
The Ningbo cluster has an estimated population of about 4.50 million (4,504,119) and ranks sixteenth among the 25 Chinese clusters in the top 100. In the 2026 ranking of the world's top 100 innovation clusters, it ranks 87th on the strength of its combined performance across three indicators: PCT applications, scientific publications and venture capital deals.
唯一计数计入每件有本地发明人或作者参与的专利或科学论文；分数计数按本地贡献者份额分摊，避免跨集群重复计算。
Unique counts include every patent or scientific article involving a local inventor or author. Fractional counts apportion each patent or scientific article according to the share of local contributors, which avoids double-counting across clusters.
