KUALA LUMPUR, March 28 (Bernama) -- The 2018 Zhongshan Trade, Investment and Top Talent Fair and Fifth Top Talent Networking Zhongshan kicked off on March 28, with 1,000 participants from more than 10 countries and regions.
The theme of the event is 'Innovation Spearheads Development and Collective Wisdom Shapes Bay Area'.
This year, investment attracting was more aligned with the city's core objective -- to steer the economy towards high-quality development driven by innovation, said the organising committee of the fair in a statement.
The opening ceremony of the fair saw the signing of a cluster of projects to drive growth in gathering innovative resources, transforming and upgrading industrial sectors, and deepening cooperation within the Greater Bay Area.
The accumulating innovative elements and collective wisdom have enabled Zhongshan to further contribute to the construction of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, with its competitiveness in geographical location, industries, innovation and living environment.
"The city aims to build itself into a world-class base for advanced manufacturing, regional transportation hub, industrial innovation centre, and notable historic and cultural city," said vice-mayor of Zhongshan, Lei Yuelong.
"The fair, sticking to those goals, helps bring in teams specialising in technological innovation, carriers for research and development, inspection and testing platforms, and projects of premium productive services and cultural tourism from overseas," he added.
The fair consists of 20 themed sessions, including Partnering Forum on Zhongshan Intelligent Manufacturing and International Industrial Cooperation to help increase connectivity among industries, technologies, projects, talents and professional teams.
Over recent years, Zhongshan has yielded fruitful results in drawing talents through the signature event of Top Talent Networking Zhongshan and introduction of 18 new talent-oriented policies.
The past four talent networking events with 47 special sessions, had drawn 23 academicians, 100 figures from China's Recruitment Program of Global Experts and 136,000 global talents. Up to 220 talent cooperation projects were signed, some involving bringing in teams of academicians.
