Zhuhai to enhance its status as a talent magnet

Zhuhai will showcase the dynamism of its economic development and the success of its talent policies at the Zhuhai International Convention & Exhibition Center from April 14 to 15 with the goal of attracting more talents and investments.

The display is an important component of the 17th Conference on International Exchange of Professionals (CIEP), the only national, international, and comprehensive talent and intelligence exchange event in China that is currently open to foreign expert organizations, training institutions, and professionals on the largest scale and with the highest specifications.

The conference was initiated in 2001 and has been held in Shenzhen since 2007. It is the first time a parallel session has been held in Zhuhai, which will be attended by high-end talents from around the globe. Entrepreneurial teams from home and abroad will also take part, and are expected to present their projects during roadshows.
