With the development of science and technology and the increasingly fierce competition of innovation, the virtual innovation cluster (VIC) has become an important way of innovation. This paper studies the influence factors of the formation of VIC, in order that more VICs can be built well. A new model of factors is proposed, in which some new variables such as searching for partners, negotiation, internal recognition, external recognition and structure level are used to describe the situation of VIC's formation, and other new variables such as members' quality and relationship are increased into the influence factors. The empirical research shows that the factors of the government's promotion, members' quality, members' relationship and innovative spirit play an important role in the formation of VIC.
