To attract and nourish potent human resources for local advancement, the Jianggan District International Talent Science and Technology Week in Hangzhou opened at the InterContinental Hangzhou on Sunday.

Officials from the provincial government of East China's Zhejiang province and Hangzhou municipal government attended the opening ceremony, where Teng Yong, vice-chairman of the CPPCC Hangzhou and Party secretary of the Jianggan district committee, delivered the keynote speech.

Personnel policy rooted in local conditions

Six elites and 20 young talents, outshining other competitors during rigorous tryouts, were named as the first group of Qianjiang Business Talent of Jianggan District.

Economic and social development essentially comes down to the competition of talents. In May this year, with priorities on business growth, Jianggan district in Hangzhou launched the province's first policy on high-end business personnel, the Qianjiang Business Talents Policy, and issued advice on building an international hub for high-end business talents and upgrading the scale of the central business district in Jianggan.

Since July, the majority of applicants for the policy came with backgrounds in finance, business services, cultural and tourism industries, and international business. Among them are industry veterans with decades of experience, up-and-coming entrepreneurs and internet influencers who have millions of followers.
