Abstract Based on the time perspective, combined with the international ambidextrous learning theory, this study uses the overseas direct investment data of China’s A-share listed companies from 2009 to 2021, and adopts the Cox proportional hazards model to empirically test the influence and mechanism of enterprise digitalization on the speed of integrating into the global innovation network. Based on the strategic tripod, this study discusses the moderating effect of host country’s intellectual property protection, industry openness and dynamic capability on the relationship between the two. The results show that enterprise digitalization significantly improves the speed of integration into the global innovation network, and intellectual property protection, industry openness and dynamic capability play a positive moderating role between digitalization and the speed of integration into the global innovation network. Mechanism analysis shows that enterprise digitalization promotes the speed of integration into the global innovation network by improving knowledge acquisition and knowledge integration effect. Heterogeneity analysis shows that the acceleration effect of digitalization is more significant for enterprises entering countries not along the Belt and Road, those in strategic emerging industries, and specialized and new enterprises.
