Abstract: 
Huaihe Economic Belt is located in the economic low-lying areas of China. Innovation is an important driving force to achieve regional development and enhance competitiveness. This paper constructs innovation ability evaluation index system of Huaihe Economic Belt, and longitudinally compares the evolution characteristics of the innovation ability of Huaihe Economic Belt in the period from 2011 to 2015. Through the principal component analysis and cluster analysis, the paper horizontally compares the innovation abilities of the 21 cities in Huaihe Economic Belt in 2015. The research finds that the innovation ability of Huaihe Economic Belt had been steadily improved in the past five years, the improvement speed of technological innovation was obviously higher than other factors, and the development of service innovation has fluctuated. The innovation abilities of the 21 cities are different; the innovation abilities of Taizhou, Yangzhou and Xuzhou in the lower reaches of Huaihe River are strong, and the cities in the middle and upper reaches of Huaihe River have generally lower innovation abilities.
