Exploratory factor analysis and SEM analyses were conducted to analyze data.Findings– It proved that: the economy of ICE has a positive direct impact on the talent growth in the clusters; ICHRP has a positive direct impact on talent growth in the clusters; ICC does not have a direct impact on talent growth in the clusters; ICLS has a positive direct impact on talent growth in the clusters; the HRM of companies in IC has a positive direct impact on talent growth in the clusters; the culture and ICHRP has a positive direct impact on the HRM of companies in the clusters.Originality/value– The paper helps to reveal why talent grows better in IC than in other regions. It offers theoretic support for government to set HR policy.
