Based on panel data from 248 prefectures from 2011-2019, this paper examines the impact of digital inclusive finance on regional innovation and the moderating role of the advanced development of industrial structure and financial agglomeration in this promotion process at the prefecture level. The study finds that digital inclusive finance promotes regional innovation; in terms of the transmission mechanism of the effect, it is found that the advanced industrial structure and financial agglomeration can strengthen the promotion effect of digital inclusive finance on regional innovation.
