At present, multi-source outbreak appears in the process of cross convergence in many fields of science and technology. Allocation of scientific and technological innovation resources is changing to the way of multi-body participation in consultation. Major countries have actively built a scientific and efficient scientific and technological innovation governance system to cope with the change. In this article, we focus on the important aspects of international science and technology innovation governance, including risk early warning, national consultation, public-private partnership, policy combination, innovation supervision, and smart specialization. Moreover, typical policy tools such as forward-looking planning, multiagent cogovernance, multiparty benefit sharing, optimization of innovation resource allocation, high-risk technology application supervision, and science and technology innovation driven regional development are investigated. The practice abroad can provide the experience for the scientific construction of China's science and technology innovation governance system.
