"Shenzhen has a very good talent policy." "Shenzhen has an open and inclusive environment." "The people here are very innovative." At the 21st China International Talent Exchange Conference, the reporter learned about the specific reasons why they chose Shenzhen and stayed in Shenzhen through in-depth exchanges with international talents.
It is not only visible factors such as talent policies and favorable business environment, but more importantly, the temperament and heritage of Shenzhen: struggle, hard work and continuous prosperity. The city has a lot of room for imagination, so more and more international talents are willing to be in the vibrant city of Shenzhen, and resonate with the city's development at the same frequency.
Generous talent policies attract international talents
Philippe Fournier-Viger, a distinguished professor from Shenzhen University, told reporters about the results of the exhibition: "I learned about the new policies of different regions and local companies in Shenzhen, and I paid attention to the services that Shenzhen offers to expatriates living here. I noticed that there are a lot of services in different regions to support expatriates, especially talent, and I think that's fantastic. ”
Like thousands of young Chinese who come to Shenzhen, "opportunity" is the most important reason why international talents come to Shenzhen, and Shenzhen's talent policy is the key to attracting Professor Vernir Weige to develop in Shenzhen.
Professor Vernier Weige first arrived in Shenzhen on a work visa in 2015 and subsequently received the title of National Talent from the National Science Foundation. He said that the Shenzhen government's talent policy is very rich, he has benefited from a number of talent policies, which has had a great impact on his choice to work in Shenzhen, and he is also very grateful to Shenzhen Talent Training Institute and its help.
As Professor Vernier Weige said, Shenzhen has a favorable talent policy and high-quality services, which creates a good atmosphere for international talent gathering. At present, Shenzhen is forming an international high-end talent gathering place, and accelerating its construction into a world-class important talent center and a scientific and technological innovation highland. As of December 2022, Shenzhen has more than 12,2 high-level talents and 2,19 overseas returnees, bringing the total number of talents to 663.<> million.
An open and inclusive environment to retain international talent
Delicate rows of glasses, colorful paintings... The displays, made by Russian artist Alevtina Kovalenko, attracted attendees to stop and admire. Alevtina is not only an excellent artist, but also an excellent businessman, she opened her own company in Shenzhen in 2019.
"Shenzhen is a very warm place, it's a big city and offers a lot of opportunities." Aleftina told reporters about the reason why she came to Shenzhen from far away Russia to start a business, "It is very efficient to open a company in Shenzhen, and my friends who do business in Shenzhen have given me a lot of valuable legal advice, the business environment here is very good, and I can feel that more and more companies are interested in collaborating with artists." Previously, I also participated in two exhibitions held by the Bao'an District Artists Association, and they helped promote my art in this way. ”
Shenzhen's most attractive international talents are openness, inclusiveness and innovation. "It's Shenzhen people who are coming!" Prime Sharma, who has lived in Shenzhen for seven years and is now a master's at Shenzhen University, feels the same way about the city's vibrancy.
As an international volunteer, Liu Meixi represented Guangdong Enterprise Service Center at the conference. On site, booths in many neighborhoods were attended by international volunteers. She said that this is not only the embodiment of Shenzhen's openness and diversification, but also the embodiment of Shenzhen's internationalization, which gives people a spirit of hard work, so many international talents are willing to stay in Shenzhen and grow with the pace of the city.
"Shenzhen is famous for having 20 international neighborhoods." Liu Meixi said. International neighborhoods such as China Merchants District, Shekou District, Guangdong District, and Shenzhen-Hong Kong Science and Technology Innovation Cooperation Zone in the Hetao Loop provided services to many foreigners at the conference. The person in charge of the exhibition from Shekou Street told reporters that these international blocks are using innovative ideas and professional services to create a good social atmosphere in which everyone participates, everyone does their best and everyone shares.
