Abstract: In the background of knowledge economy era, R&D becomes an important power to drive the region爷s social and economical development. International R&D hub, which is characterized by R&D innovation, is a new type of regional function and spatial form coming with the development of R&D globalization. There is no scholars both in home and abroad have researched this field systematically so far. Based on this, this paper mainly reviews the related theoretical achievement on international R&D hub in recent years systematically in four aspects such as the relevant concept, development strategy of R&D hub, the environment for R&D investment, growth condition and the model of R&D hub. Then, on the basis of theoretical comment, the paper gives the prospect for the main content and direction of future research on International R&D hub.
