Abstract

This article focuses on labor, knowledge, and capital-intensive start-ups, using theoretical and empirical methods to explore how they can become new drivers of regional economic development in the economic transformation of the old industrial base in Northeast China. First, it sorts out relevant concepts. The research analyzes the current situation of the social economy in Northeast China and the three types of start-ups, explores their growth drivers, verifies them through empirical methods, and identifies development obstacles, proposing improvement strategies. The research reveals that the three start-up models promote the economy of Northeast China in a differentiated manner, showing a synergy effect, and are influenced by multiple factors, providing theoretical guidance and practical references for optimizing the start-up-driven model and reviving the economy of Northeast China.
