The OVC overseas station in Singapore was recently unveiled in Singapore. Having a total area of 500 square meters, the station was jointly constructed by the Wuhan Optics Valley Talent Group Co and Singapore-based JCS Group Co.

It is the first overseas station for the East Lake High-tech Development Zone (also known as Optics Valley of China, or OVC) to attract more talent.

HGTECH, HGC, and three other enterprises signed the agreement to move into the station at its unveiling ceremony.

A job fair for 30 OVC enterprises was held on July 30 at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore. A total of 125 high-end job positions were released, and the average salary they offered exceeded 500,000 yuan ($70,000).

The event that took place on April 13 in Shanghai's Hongqiao International Central Business District was a significant milestone for over 80 young overseas Chinese representatives from Singaporean universities or research institutes who participated in it. The event marked the first time that a domestic OVC station was used, and the attendees, who were primarily international students, doctors, postdoctoral researchers, or researchers, were excited to be a part of it.
