Abstract

The development of the Hainan Free Trade Port has accelerated the evolution of industrial clusters toward a modern “45432” industrial system, creating a growing demand for high-caliber, application-oriented, and internationally competent talents characterized by scale, complexity, and cutting-edge expertise. As the core vehicle for talent supply, the strategic alignment of university programs with industrial cluster development directly influences the cultivation of the Free Trade Ports advanced productive forces and its high-quality growth. This study examines the evolutionary stages and features of Hainans industrial clusters through the lens of industry-education integration and supply-demand matching. It analyzes the current state and limitations of university program structures, establishes a dynamic adaptation framework of “demand-driven–supply-responsive–collaborative coupling” and proposes a precision-adjustment mechanism for programs aligned with industrial and innovation chains alongside a collaborative governance pathway for industry-education integration. These findings provide theoretical foundations and practical guidance for harmonizing the education, talent, industrial, and innovation chains within the Free Trade Port.
