R&D activities are the most important parts in the progress of innovation, and play a crucial role in the technological innovation. R&D hub, which is a cluster of R&D organizations, firstly appeared in the 1990's. It is not only important to the firms and organizations attached to it, but also may make great contributions to the development of regional economy. The basic conditions which are of great importance to the formation of R&D hubs are analyzed here. This paper classifies the regional conditions which will contribute to the formation of R&D hubs into two types: capital basis and innovative environment. Furthermore, capital basis is divided into industrial base, human capital and social capital; while innovation environment is divided into infrastructure, service sector and institutional circumstances. On the basis of theoretical analysis, the paper compares the basic conditions of Beijing with Shanghai. The indexes chosen include: level of informatization infrastructure, location quotient of high-tech industry, human capital condition and social capital condition. Finally, it comes to the following conclusions: Beijing, which has advantages in human capital, could grow into R&D hub of mixed form, however, it still needs to make great efforts to develop the service industry. Compared with Beijing, Shanghai is not only good at human capital, but also good at commercial elitists and culture. So Shanghai could develop into an innovative R&D hub.
