At the meeting, Secretary Yu Yong expressed that Jing’an District is currently constructing a top-notch, modern, international urban area, serving as a model for China’s modern urban areas. He emphasized the district’s need for talent and the potential for them to achieve great success more than ever before. Jing’an District must focus on the internationalization orientation and utilize and enhance the advantages of International Jing’an. By actively attracting and gathering overseas high-level talents, the district should establish several industry forums and high-end platforms with significant influence, high standards, and broad connections. This will encourage more overseas and top talents to communicate, collaborate, and develop in Jing’an District. To build a pyramid echelon, the district must concentrate on improving the degree of talent internationalization and forming a more rational talent structure. Breaking through multiple points and promoting overall development, it should adopt a comprehensive approach to create a larger talent team. The district must create a high-quality environment, introduce more comprehensive reforms with greater courage, and provide deeper support to unleash talents' potential. Additionally, it must address the problems in the lives of talented people, ensuring that they have opportunities for entrepreneurship, a stage for work, space for development, and social status.

Notably, two innovative projects were unveiled at the conference: the Jingying Global Partner Program and the Jingyinghui Industry Summit Integration Forum.

The Jingying Global Partner Program leverages the human resource service institutions clustering advantages in Jing’an District, relies on the China-Shanghai Industry Park of Human Resources Service, creates a list of human resource brand suppliers, selects leading human resource enterprises with a strong reputation and expertise, and establishes a human resource service platform with global outreach and influence. The Jingying Global Partner Program will concentrate on the 3+6 key industries (Shanghai’s three primary industries and Jing’an’s six key industries). Brand suppliers will leverage the human resources organizations’ market advantages while connecting and integrating the Shanghai and international talent markets, exploring ways to attract high-quality talents and promoting sharing, innovation cooperation, industrial linkage, and achievement sharing of high-level talent services under the context of talent integration in the Yangtze River Delta. This will promote the smooth flow of human resources elements across a broader area.

The Jingyinghui Industry Summit Integration Forum will build upon Jing’an’s proven experience and advantages in hosting high-end forums, including the mature summit forums of Meiyuan Talk HR Executive Community, Forbes China • Jing’an West Nanjing Road Forum, and Global Wealth Management Forum Shanghai Suhewan Summit. The forum will focus on Shanghai’s overall situation and regional development, highlighting key industries and further refining various industry summit forums to develop more sophisticatedly. This will attract top enterprises and talents through broad publicity and temporary guest invitations, accelerating the industrial influence and extensive impact in China and worldwide. It will also attract and gather more professionals to Shanghai and Jing’an for development, accelerating the formation of a virtuous circle of talent flow.
