High-level local universities serve as a vital pillar for regional innovation, yet they commonly face challenges including insufficient university-local alignment, shallow integration and limited release of innovation benefits. Existing literature largely focuses on macro effects while neglecting the micro processes of university-local integration shaped by strategic actions of institutional leadership. Drawing on strategic leadership, organizational embeddedness and regional innovation system theories, this study adopts multiple-case qualitative research and grounded theory methods. The findings reveal that universities advance multi-dimensional regional embedding through four strategies: vision framing, organizational design, boundary spanning and institutional innovation. A transmission pathway of “leadership driving - multi-dimensional embedding- innovation performance output” is established. This research offers theoretical and practical references for deepening university-local symbiosis.
