Chinanews, Hangzhou, December 17th, title: The Way of Balance-See how Zhejiang builds a "global talent reservoir"

  Zhao Yejiao Zhang Bin Hu Dingyu

  This spring, Zhejiang was given the goal of "important window".

"Building a high-quality and powerful talent team and building a high-level innovative province" is regarded by the province as one of the major landmark achievements with "Chinese style" and "Zhejiang recognition" in the future.

  In 2019, all the 11 cities in Zhejiang achieved a net inflow of talents.

Among them, Hangzhou has a net population increase of over 500,000, making it one of the cities with the largest net population growth in China.

In this context, Zhejiang proposed to build a "global talent pool".

  How to continue to advance in the construction of talent team?

Following the "balanced approach", this powerful eastern province is integrating the innovation chain and industrial chain, helping the development of the "county economy", constantly finding new ways to balance human resources in urban areas, breaking the inherent thinking, and realizing global talent Used".

Integrating the innovation chain industry chain: complementing the innovation shortcomings of the "county economy"

  Hangzhou Xiaoshan is a strong traditional industrial area in Zhejiang.

In its heyday, the industrial output value of this area accounted for one-third of Hangzhou.

With the transformation and upgrading of the manufacturing industry, the lack of high-level talent empowerment in the industrial chain has become increasingly prominent.

  In 2019, Peking University Institute for Advanced Information Technology (hereinafter referred to as Peking University Institute of Information Technology) settled in Xiaoshan, trying to solve the "difficulties in recruiting talents" and "difficulties in transformation" of traditional manufacturing enterprises.

  "We have a demand for digital transformation, but it is difficult to recruit enough talents on our own." said Peng Junmin, head of the joint laboratory of Shengda Group, a packaging manufacturing company in Xiaoshan District.

  In July 2019, Shengda Group and Peking University Information Technology Research Institute jointly established a joint laboratory for intelligent packaging to realize the digital transformation of the entire production process.

"Through the cooperation between the enterprise and the Information Technology Research Institute of Peking University, the innovation chain and the industrial chain are gradually connected." The relevant person in charge of the Organization Department of the Xiaoshan District Committee said.

  At present, 4 academicians have introduced full-time innovation and entrepreneurship, 10 academician projects have been incubated, and a total of 66 million yuan has been redeemed for project start-up funds.

Xiaoshan's practice of supplementing the "county economy" with the construction of a talent team is similar to other areas in Zhejiang.

  Since the beginning of this year, Huzhou Deqing has established the "Engineer Collaborative Innovation Center" to cooperate with scientific research institutes and Zhejiang University to help the research and development of "key technologies" in the aviation industry; Taizhou Wenling has established the "Mechanical and Electrical Engineer Collaborative Innovation Center" to integrate the quality of national water pump products. Inspection Center, Taizhou First Technician College, etc. joined forces with Tsinghua University to promote technological innovation of mechanical and electrical products...

  In June, the "Decision of the Zhejiang Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China on Building a High-Quality and Strong Talent Team and Building a High-Level Innovative Province" was released, which proposed to strengthen the precise connection of the innovation chain industry chain and accelerate the construction of key links in the industry chain and collaborative innovation projects.

  By linking the "innovation chain" and the "industrial chain", balanced human resources will inject lasting impetus into the development of the "county economy" in Zhejiang.

Eliminate barriers to inter-city systems and mechanisms: balance inter-city human resources

  The gap between the innovation chain and the industrial chain will hinder the development of the county economy, while the inter-city system barriers will hinder the balance of inter-city talent resources.

Eliminating this barrier is Zhejiang's concept of creating a "global talent reservoir" and a booster for the construction of metropolitan areas in the province.

  In the meantime, Ningbo and Zhoushan took the lead.

"In 2019, Ningbo's net inflow rate of manufacturing talents ranked first in the country. In August of the same year, the "Ningbo City's Action Plan for Promoting the Integrated Development of Yongzhou" was released." Huang Rongcheng, deputy director of the Ningbo Municipal Party Committee Organization Department and deputy director of the Municipal Party Committee Talent Office, said. For the integrated development of Yongzhou, talents go first, and talents are also the most critical. "Ningbo has manufacturing talents, and Zhoushan has room for the development of industries such as marine resources and petrochemicals. The integration of Yongzhou and Zhou is the product of advantages and complementary resources."

  At the same time, in the first three quarters of this year, Zhoushan's GDP increased by 12.6% year-on-year (calculated at comparable prices), which was higher than that of Zhejiang Province.

The person in charge of the Organization Department of the Zhoushan Municipal Party Committee has publicly stated that talents are the strategic resource most needed and in short supply in Zhoushan, as well as the shortcomings of development.

  Through the interaction of talents between the two places, "sparks" of exchanges have been created.

For example, five years ago, the research team of Wang Liping, a researcher at the Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, established a joint laboratory with the Zhoushan enterprise Zhejiang Kexin Heavy Industry Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Kexin Heavy Industry) to explore the way of sharing talent resources in Yongzhou.

  "We have the technology and need a test site. Through the joint laboratory, talents can work with Kexin Heavy Industry to solve major technical problems in the long-life anti-corrosion of the steel cross-sea bridge deepwater steel structure." said Wang Liping, two senior engineers of his team for one year Nearly 40% of the time, they settled in the enterprise park to carry out technical research and guidance on the production line.

In 2019, the joint laboratory solved the world's corrosion protection problems, greatly increased the life of steel pipe columns, and met the construction needs of future cross-sea railway and tunnel projects.

  From a broader perspective, Zhejiang’s talent service integration has already tasted the sweetness: In 2016, Quzhou Haichuang Park settled in Hangzhou Future Science and Technology City, realizing the "same city treatment" for settled enterprises, and at the same time, full refund of taxes paid by settled enterprises and individuals Quzhou.

  The free flow of talents between cities and the sharing of innovative atmosphere are behind the innovation of systems and mechanisms, which is also Zhejiang's interpretation of the "global talent reservoir".

Breaking through the barriers of thought: creating a global talent pool

  To build a "global talent pool", it is even more necessary to break through the ideological barriers.

Only by treating talents equally can we realize that global talents can be used by me.

  In the Zhejiang Talent Building with the slogan "Based in Hangzhou, Serving Zhejiang", it treats global talents equally through ways such as sharing talent services.

“Since the establishment of the Future Science and Technology City, it has always been driven by talents to lead innovation.” Xu Laiying, Director of the Talent and Financial Service Center of the Future Science and Technology City Management Committee, said that local talents can enjoy equalized services as long as they pass unified certification.

  Recently, Nie Jin, a foreign talent from Cameroon, Africa, put forward his children's enrollment needs to Zhejiang Talent Building.

"According to the confirmation, Nie Jin can choose a nearby elementary school like Hangzhou residents so that their children can get educational opportunities." said Luo Hairong, the operation director of Zhejiang Talent Building.

  Zhejiang is also seeking breakthroughs in practice to promote global talents "for my use."

In June of this year, the Zhejiang Provincial Talent Service Platform released the first batch of provincial-level lists of "Revealing the List and Taking Leadership". In response to the 29 "stuck neck" technical requirements proposed by 28 key enterprises in Zhejiang Province, it issued "hero posts" to global talents and teams. The total amount of the list is over 100 million yuan, and talents can "open the list" if they are capable.

  The Deputy Director of the Organization Department of the Zhejiang Provincial Party Committee and the Executive Deputy Director of the Talents Office of the Provincial Party Committee warmly stated that the value of talents is compared and done. Zhejiang should explore and establish a system and mechanism for the use of talents, and use talents in an informal manner.

  Data show that the total human resources in Zhejiang has reached 13.611 million.

Balance the demand for talents at different levels; break through the ideological “fences” that block the full use of talent resources; build a “global talent pool” with the “balanced approach”, or a road to build a talent team with “Zhejiang characteristics”.
