Abstract: High-tech industries, which are based on intellectually-intensive technologies and integrate multidisciplinary technological achievements, are the strategic leading industries of the Chinese national economy. The statistical range of the Chinese high-tech industry includes five categories: aerospace manufacture, electronics and communications equipment manufacture, computer and office equipment manufacture, pharmaceuticals and medical equipment manufacture, as well as instrument and meter manufacture. High-tech industries are important because they drive the world's economic layout, political affairs, and military competition. With the arrival of the era of knowledge economy, the contribution rate of knowledge economy to traditional industrial economy growth has changed obviously. However, it is the result to absorb the experiences of success to get the industrialized successes for any industrialized country. High-tech industries which established on the basis of the high-tech are the production and service sectors relying on high-tech research and development of high-tech achievements. High technology and industrialization became the important ways and directions for every country to get higher economic competitiveness. Knowledge economy reveals the importance of the knowledge for economic development, and the development of high-tech industry is the core of the knowledge economy. Furthermore, along with the further progress of the knowledge-based economy and globalization, previous studies show that development of high-tech industry has become a concrete expression of the strength of a nation or region. However, in china, the market has an increasingly higher requirement for innovation and technology innovation, with a series of problems, such as unreasonable allocation of resources, the flow is not smooth, irrational industrial structure. The study of knowledge transfer on high-tech industrial development is important because agglomeration is a process of gathering knowledge transfer. In this paper, we based on the data of 27 provinces in China during the years 2009-2014 by using the entropy TOPSIS model, which is to determine the knowledge transfer ability of high-tech industry. Then we regards the prior evaluation index as the dependent variable, the influencing factor as the independent variable by using the panel Tobit model, in order to process high-tech industrial. The research shows that the regional high-tech industry knowledge transfer ability exists some fluctuations and differences in the time dimension and the regional dimension. The Tobit model regression results show that the effect of government support and ownership structure is not remarkable, industrial structure, opening degree and market competition degree respectively plays a positive role. Thus, this paper can provide the effective reference for realizing China's sustained rapid economic development and improving China's high-tech industries innovation ecosystem, which undoubtedly has important theoretical value and practical significance in the China's present national conditions.
