CHONGQING, China, Nov. 19, 2020 /Xinhua=KYODO JBN/--

From November 21 to 22, the Chongqing Talents Conference 2020 will be held in

West China's Chongqing Liangjiang New Area. Heavyweight domestic and foreign

guests from political, business, science and technology, education, medicine

and health, and financial circles will attend the event. More than 30,000

domestic and foreign high-end talents, university graduates, project team

representatives and other talents will join online to discuss development plans

and share cooperation opportunities.

As the permanent host place and one of the main organizers of the conference,

Liangjiang New Area is pushing forward inland opening-up and Chongqing smart

city construction. A number of innovation platforms, such as Liangjiang

Collaborative Innovation Zone, Lijia Smart Park, Yuelai International

Exhibition City and Liangjiang Digital Economy Industrial Park, are gaining

spotlight. In the first three quarters of this year, the district's GDP

increased by 6.7%; its industrial added value increased by 12.1%; its actual

utilization of foreign capital reached 2.1 billion US dollars, and the

contracted value in attracting investment exceeded 100 billion yuan. At the

first press conference of Chongqing Talents Conference 2020, Tao Shixiang,

deputy secretary of the CPC Committee of Liangjiang New Area, said that these

indicators show that the area is becoming a hot land for global and national

investment, a fertile land for entrepreneurship and a happy land for life.

In order to recruit talents, in November last year, Liangjiang New Area issued

guidelines to leverage the power of talents to boost the area's high-quality

development. Four supporting policy documents for the introduction and training

of high-level talents, education talents, health talents and high-skilled

talents were rolled out, with ten related articles to form a sound talent

policy system. The ten articles have achieved full coverage of policies to

serve talents from academicians and experts to craftsmen. High-level talents

and project teams can receive a maximum of 30 million yuan of subsidy,

first-class scientists and teams can receive a maximum of 100 million yuan,

while outstanding graduates with bachelor's degree or above recognized by

enterprises can also enjoy a resettlement subsidy of 10,000 yuan.

In May this year, the offline platform of "Liangjiang Yingcai Hub", an

important carrier to serve talents, innovation and entrepreneurship in the New

Area, was officially put into operation. The platform is led by the government,

participated by enterprises and operated jointly. It integrates one-stop

services, talent introduction and education and innovation and entrepreneurship

incubation, so that talents can enjoy convenient access to handle affairs, seek

development and address concerns.

In the next two years, the demand for talents in key industries such as

automobiles, electronic information, high-end equipment and bio-medicine in

Liangjiang New Area will exceed 90,000. At the press conference, Tao said that

in order to build an inland open portal and a smart city in Chongqing,

Liangjiang New Area is more eager for talents than ever before. The area will

stay magnetic to attract talents from all over the world to pool their wisdom

in Liangjiang to share a rosy future.
