10th Overseas Chinese Elite Exchange Meeting takes place
The 10th Overseas Chinese Elite Exchange Meeting was held in Pudong, Shanghai, from Dec 26 to 29.
In the meeting, experts analyzed Pudong's latest policies regarding innovation and entrepreneurship, and published a figure showing the shortage of talents in some areas with the purpose of attracting more overseas talents to come to Pudong to start a new business.
40 overseas Chinese elites and 105 winners of the 2017 Chunhui Cup Entrepreneurship Contest, an annual competition held amongst overseas Chinese students with the aim of giving opportunities for them to be entrepreneurs when they return to China, took part.
Participants attended a series of lectures and made an on-site inspection of Pudong to get a better understanding of the district's latest development goals, the needs for further development and information about how to start a new business in Pudong.
Organizers of the event said that Shanghai should make more effort to include more international talents into its future development, especially the talents who have the potential of making innovations and whose research areas match the needs for scientific development in the city.
