Abstract: With the rapid development of technology today, big data, artificial intelligence, and other technologies have brought rapid changes to our economic and social development. Cultivating innovative individuals with a spirit of research and innovation, as well as a broad perspective, who can analyze new phenomena and solve new problems, can be achieved through the integration of professional courses and innovation and entrepreneurship education. However, professional courses and innovation and entrepreneurship education are not simply linear superposition, this paper draws inspiration from the“symbiosis theory”in biology and explains that based on the“symbiosis theory”, the two symbiotic units of professional courses and innovation and entrepreneurship education are formed through classroom teaching and practical activities to form a harmonious, unified, mutually promoting, symbiotic and mutually prosperous relationship. Based on the“symbiosis theory”, the correlation between professional education and innovation and entrepreneurship education is improved, achieving multiple coupling between the two aspects.
