Abstract: Scientific and technological talent has become one of the key elements to accelerate economic development all over the world. The internal mechanism of the promoting of economic growth by scientific and technological talent gathering has been analyzed using mathematical modeling methods based on two regional cases. Further the conclusion has been extended to multi-location application. The scientific and technological talent gathering index has been introduced in the application. The data used was accessed from China Population Statistics Yearbook, Science and Technology of China Statistical Yearbook and China Statistical Yearbook. The regional concentration index of scientific and technological talent in different regions has been calculated based on the data. Findings of the research affirmed the positive correlation between scientific and technological talent gathering and regional economic growth. Finally recommendations to promote regional scientific and technological talent aggregation have been proposed.
