Zhuhai reaches out to global young talents for development

Zhuhai, which is now marching towards recognition as a powerful industrial city, has reached out to global graduates and talents in its 2022 talent attraction campaign, which opened online on Dec 2.

The city is expected to attract 10,000 high-caliber and energetic young talents, more than 20 high-level innovation and entrepreneurship groups, over 100 high-quality projects to join Zhuhai innovation and entrepreneurship competitions, as well as a batch of management talents.

Five online platforms have been opened for young industrial, professional medical and education, and management talents, as well as study tours in Zhuhai and excellent innovation and entrepreneurship groups.

A series of events such as online special recruitment fairs, live streams promoting jobs and on-site tours have been planned. 

Zhuhai Mayor Huang Zhihao promoted the city during the campaign's opening ceremony, noting that the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, which connects the three cities, has smoothed the information, talent, and innovation flows both domestically and from overseas. The Guangdong-Macao In-Depth Cooperation Zone in Hengqin is now becoming a new platform for promoting the moderate diversification of Macao's economy and facilitating Macao residents' lifestyles and employment. The city is also home to a batch of outstanding enterprises such as Gree Electric Appliances.

Dong Mingzhu, chairman of Gree Electric Appliances, said that Gree's growth history has shown that Zhuhai is one of the best places for young people to realize their dreams. She also called on global graduates and young talents to settle in Zhuhai to contribute to the construction of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.

Zhuhai in recent years has been optimizing its talent cultivation environment. It has invested more than 2 billion yuan ($287 million) annually to provide subsidies and rewards for talents in areas of health and education. 

The city has attracted over 270,000 talents in the last five years and has ranked in the frontier in Guangdong Province in terms of the net inflow rate of talents and total number of high-end talents.

As of now, Zhuhai has clustered over 850,000 talents, including nearly 1,000 high-caliber, 2,000 young, and more than 240,000 professional and technical talents.
