In recent years, Hunan province has placed a significant emphasis on overseas talent exchange and business. To further optimize cross-border talent exchange networks and strengthen international cooperation in the pursuit of attracting more talent, a range of new steps, including the formulation of more talent recruiting strategies and the establishment of service platforms, have been adopted in light of past accomplishments.
Since 2020, Hunan provincial Science and Technology Department has taken the lead in establishing a series of brand activities related to international talent in China. This department has organized sci -tech exchange seminars between Chinese and foreign experts, cultural activities themed with Chinese culture for expats and job fairs courtesy of multinational enterprises. These brand activities play a crucial role in fostering a healthy innovation ecosystem, serving foreign experts, introducing international talent, promoting the sharing of social innovation and entrepreneurship resources, and improving Hunan province's internationalization level.
A themed tour for expats was organized by Hunan provincial Science and Technology Department on July 14th. This activity's first destination was the Xiangtan High-tech Zone. In this zone, the first German industrial park to promote international collaboration in Hunan province was established in 2003. In recent years, it has recruited more than 100 foreign experts from the United States, Germany, and other countries, as well as established vital platforms such as the Hunan Shaofeng Institute of Applied Mathematics and other science and technology research organizations. The first technology and innovation support center approved by the World Intellectual Property Organization was also founded in this High-tech Zone.
In addition, the High-tech Zone has set up a professional team to assist foreign experts in living and working in China, providing them with medical treatment and other services. At the same time, relevant policies covering foreigners' innovation, entrepreneurship and lifestyle have been released.
