Abstract

With the rapid development of science and technology, the demand for talents in developed countries and regions has been focused on the outstanding scientific and technological talents. How to reflect the city’s attraction and effectively implement related policies to attract, cultivate, and retain outstanding scientific and technological talents has become one of the essential development strategies. This paper investigates the factors attracting outstanding scientific and technological talents in developed cities in China with an evaluation system composed by 8 sub-criteria indicators and 25 index indicators. The results show that the urban ecological attraction level is much higher than that of human resource ecological development. A good public service system and a standardized management platform are important factors influencing the concentration of top talents. In addition, it is important to provide related policies to support innovative companies to create a better environment that can tolerate failures.
