The fourth special recruitment fair for foreign graduate students in China (Shanghai) Pilot Free Trade Zone gathered nearly 200 foreign hopefuls from famous global universities at home and abroad, including Fudan University, Tongji University and New York University Shanghai, to seek job opportunities in the free trade zone.

Fifty-three major players and emerging startups in the areas of intelligent manufacturing, biomedicine and integrated circuits were on the lookout for potential new recruits, with 211 positions on offer.

A total of 190 foreign job seekers reached initial agreements of cooperation at the fair.
