Shandong to bring high-end talent and companies together

The ninth Shandong High-end Talent Talks will be held during Oct 11 to 13 in Dezhou, a city in East China's Shandong province.

Talks will be held among high-end talent with overseas experiences, foreign experts, domestic researchers and enterprises.

Experts who have made contributions to Shandong's economic and social development will be awarded at a ceremony.

The Talent Talks, which are held every two years, have become a platform for global talent to promote their high-tech achievements and look for cooperation, said Han Jinfeng, head of Shandong Provincial Department of Human Resources and Social Security.

Previous talks have attracted 4,000 overseas Chinese who have generated 2,500 projects and created 600 new enterprises, according to the statistics of Shandong Provincial Department of Human Resources and Social Security.

To provide sound infrastructure, the province has founded around 360 postdoctoral research centers, covering a variety of fields, including new energy, environmental protection, machinery, electronics, petrochemicals, biopharmaceuticals and healthcare.

In addition to the infrastructure, the province also provides financial support, as well as a package of support policies covering children's education, household registration, spouse's work and social security for the high-end talent who work in Shandong.
