Accelerating the cultivation of new quality productivity is the key to China's current economic transformation and upgrading, and optimizing the ecological environment for the development of new quality productive forces is the prerequisite for accelerating the cultivation of new quality productive forces.Firstly, based on the connotation of the Marxist concept of productive forces, this paper analyzes the ecological environment factors of the development of new quality productive forces from the perspective of innovation value chain.Then, an evaluation index system for the ecological environment of new quality productive forces is constructed from five dimensions: organizational competition, factor input, development output, market environment and policy incentives.Using data from 30 mainland provinces in China from 2013 to 2022 as samples, entropy weight method, spatial Moran index, and obstacle degree model are used for analysis.The results show that the overall ecological environment level of China's new quality productive forces is on the rise, with the eastern region significantly better than the central and western regions, and the northeast region deteriorating year by year; In 2022,Guangdong, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang ranked among the top three, while Qinghai had the fastest development with an average annual growth rate of 4.496%;The eight major economic zones have significant differences, showing a trend of relative convergence and absolute divergence, with the Northwest Economic Zone optimizing the fastest; The south is significantly better than the north, showing a relative and absolute dual trend of development between the north and the south; There is significant spatial agglomeration in the ecological environment of inter provincial new quality productive forces, with spatial agglomeration characteristics transitioning in provinces and cities such as Beijing, Hunan, and Jiangxi.The main obstacles to optimizing the ecological environment of new quality productive forces have shifted from insufficient infrastructure in 2013 to insufficient talent investment in 2022.Talent investment has become the main obstacle to the development of the eastern, central, and western regions, while the administrative environment is the main obstacle to the development of the Northeastern region.There are significant differences in regional and inter provincial obstacles, which need to be overcome according to local conditions.Finally, it is recommended to optimize the ecological environment according to local conditions by optimizing the talent ecology, improving the policy ecology, and enhancing the market ecology, in order to accelerate the formation of new quality productive forces.
