Abstract Based on the Technology-Organization-Environment (TOE), this study builds the equipment manufacturing industry and modern service industry convergence process driven model, and uses the fuzzy qualitative comparison analysis (fsQCA) method to explore the causality relationship of configuration of integration between equipment manufacturing industry and modern service industry in 30 provinces and cities in mainland China. On this basis, the complementary substitution relationship between configuration conditions is further explored. The results show that there are four paths with high integration level: balanced development path, service-oriented path, manufacturing-oriented path and government-driven path. The balanced development path plays the most significant role in the integration process. Technological innovation and diffusion, government policies and institutions are the key factors to achieve integration. Digital technology and industrial competition intensity, the level of service economy, government policy and system of various factors have complementary or substitute relations.
