In the context of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality goals, the rapid development of green finance and green technology, coupled with their synergy, is an inevitable requirement for achieving financial services for the real economy. This paper constructs a spatial econometric model to analyze the coordinated development of green finance and green technology in 29 provinces of China from 2012 to 2022. The research finds that the level and development speed of coordinated coupling between green finance and green technology show a distribution pattern of high in the east and low in the west, and fast in the east and slow in the west nationwide. From the perspective of spatial differences between regions, the level of synergy between green finance and green technology in the eastern region is constantly widening compared to other regions, while the gap between other regions in the western region is narrowing. From the perspective of spatial correlation, the synergistic coupling of green finance and green technology has a significant spatial agglomeration effect nationwide, but there are relatively few high high type agglomeration areas that promote each other. Most of them are low low type or low high type, high low type agglomeration areas that have not produced good spatial effects. Based on this, in the future, regional spatial governance should be strengthened, financial and technological transmission channels should be opened up, and the radiation capacity of the central region should be enhanced to promote the coordinated and coupled development of green finance and green technology.
