Based on the fundamental concept of university innovation clubs, this paper analyzes prevalent challenges such as inefficient resource integration, inadequate institutional mechanisms, and superficial industry-education collaboration. Through case studies of innovation club development across multiple universities, it proposes an innovative tripartite construction model of on-campus resource integration, off-campus industry linkage, and interdisciplinary collaboration. Furthermore, we formulate a corresponding developmental pathway emphasizing institutional standardization, industry-academia-research integration, and the cultivation of an innovation culture. This study offers both theoretical and practical implications for reforming university student organizations and practice-based educational platforms.
