Release time:Apr 16, 2024 21:55 PM

"I'm very excited. I just finished my speech and investors will be following us soon." Yesterday, the third "Gathering Talents from the Sea" Global Innovation and Entrepreneurship Summit with the theme of "Gathering in Shanghai and Creating the Future" opened. The words of the contestants in this year's "Gathering Talents from the Sea" Global Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition have resonated with many innovative and entrepreneurial talents on site.

As the main brand of talent recruitment and investment attraction in Shanghai, "Gathering Talents at Sea" attracts talents through competition and talent attraction, enabling Shanghai to achieve its dreams of talent and also to achieve its brilliance.

Gathering of outstanding talents, inspiring entrepreneurial motivation

At yesterday's Shanghai International Conference Center, top talents gathered together, and sparks of thought flickered.

"Shanghai is a very good place to do basic research, and has the opportunity to make the best basic research achievements in the world." Yuan Junying, academician of the American Academy of Sciences, academician of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and director of the Cross Research Center of Biology and Chemistry of the Chinese Academy of Sciences Shanghai Institute of Organic Chemistry, has been engaged in basic research for a long time, and is a pioneer in the field of cell death research. In her view, Shanghai currently attaches great importance to the development of basic disciplines and innovation in basic research, and has introduced a series of supporting measures, which will truly promote major breakthroughs in basic research.

In 2020, Yuan Junying returned home full time and established the cross research center of biology and chemistry of the Chinese Academy of Sciences Shanghai Institute of Organic Chemistry. At the summit, she encouraged young researchers to always have confidence: "Just dig a hole on the ground, how could you know there is water below? Only by relying on confidence and experience, persistently digging downwards, can we see hope.".

This year's "Gathering Talents from the Sea" Global Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition has attracted a total of 8118 global participating projects and won 39 gold, silver, and bronze awards. From competitions to summits, innovative and entrepreneurial talents not only receive the favor of investment institutions and guidance from entrepreneurial experts, but also find more like-minded partners.

"Entrepreneurs are very busy and spend most of their time working hard, rarely having the opportunity to gather with so many outstanding talents." Hu Yilin, a contestant in the competition and founder of Xiaoniu Network Technology Co., Ltd., sighed. The "Gathering Talents from the Sea" Innovation and Entrepreneurship Summit provides entrepreneurs with a valuable communication platform, allowing everyone to find creative inspiration from each other's projects and stimulate stronger motivation.

Overcoming difficulties and climbing towards the forefront

Since the "Gathering Talents from the Sea" competition was held, it has selected and supported a group of listed companies such as Lianying Medical, Botong Integration, and Medici, and gathered a group of top talents such as Yin Zhiyao, Pu Muming, and Pan Jianwei. The attending guests expressed that in order to innovate and start businesses in Shanghai, we must go towards the forefront and select the most outstanding talents.

Peng Lei, founder and CEO of Shanghai Brain Tiger Technology Co., Ltd., is the winner of the Silver Ju Award in this year's entrepreneurship competition. His project "Minimally invasive implantable high-throughput flexible brain computer interface" has made implantable brain computer interfaces no longer just about "sticking chopsticks into tofu", with the vast majority of indicators leading domestic and foreign peers. Peng Lei told reporters that since participating in the competition last year, the project has attracted the attention of various levels of government departments in Shanghai, and has received a lot of support in land use and financing.

In May of this year, the R&D team of Brain Tiger Technology implanted a semi invasive brain computer interface device into rhesus monkeys, enabling them to play table tennis through "brain control". Surprisingly, this company, which has only been established for less than two years, is considered the most likely domestic enterprise to replace or surpass Musk's brain computer interface company Neuralink. "Musk started 7 years earlier than us, leading us in animal experiments, clinical trials, and other aspects." Peng Lei said that in the future, he will continue to increase research and development investment, actively promote industrialization, and shorten the gap with the world's best companies at the fastest speed.

Through a series of explorations such as "attracting talents from the sea", the agglomeration effect of high-end talents in Shanghai continues to improve. Alex Zavoronkov, founder and CEO of Yingsi Intelligence, has a deep understanding of this.

In 2019, Yingsi Intelligence entered Zhangjiang Pharmaceutical Valley and has now become a leading enterprise in the field of AI pharmaceuticals. Zavoronkov recalled at the summit the reason for choosing Zhangjiang at the time, "Zhangjiang attracts global biopharmaceutical talents, we don't have to search everywhere or introduce from abroad, the most needed talents are already here.". He found that the R&D team of the company is mostly composed of local talents from Shanghai, which is similar to his experience of starting a business in other cities such as Boston, London, and Tokyo - all of which have large and high-quality talent teams.

"In this sense, setting the company's R&D headquarters in Shanghai is one of the most correct decisions we have ever made," said Zavoronkov.

Institutional innovation, providing full lifecycle protection

Wutong trees were planted to attract the phoenix. Looking towards the future, Shanghai will implement more proactive, open, and effective talent policies, providing full lifecycle and full chain guarantees for innovation and entrepreneurship, providing comprehensive, one-stop services for talents, and striving to create a good talent ecosystem that is close to and far from.

At this summit, a number of heavyweight talent policies, including the Global Outstanding Talent Premium Service and the Shanghai Overseas Vocational Qualification Certificate Recognition List, were officially released, attracting the attention of many talents on site. Taking the latter as an example, this is a list of overseas vocational qualification certificate recognition developed by the Municipal Human Resources and Social Security Bureau in collaboration with relevant industry regulatory departments to explore the connection mechanism between international vocational qualifications and domestic professional title evaluation, and promote institutional openness.

It is understood that the list is divided into three categories: ABC. Based on standards such as industry matching, certificate popularity, and internationalization, 48 overseas vocational qualification certificates are selected to form an A-class list. For certified personnel, supporting policies such as talent introduction, work permits, and talent housing are provided; Based on standards such as the degree of urgent talent shortage and high professional and technical level, 15 certificates are selected to form a B-class urgent shortage list, and more comprehensive convenience guarantee measures are provided; Based on the criteria of certificate verifiability, comparable evaluation criteria, and demand for professional talents, 22 certificates are selected to form a C-class list, and certified personnel can be recognized as domestic professional titles by comparison. At the same time, establish a unified overseas vocational qualification certificate query and verification platform throughout the city, providing certificate query and verification services.

In the future, Shanghai will dynamically adjust the list and directory based on the development of key industries and the actual demand for professional talents, attract and gather high-level professional talents, and accelerate the construction of a high-level talent highland.

Changxing Island in Chongming District has multiple medium to large residential areas with a large population and strong demand for real estate transactions. However, due to the distance between Changxing Island and Chongming Island, the public has a long journey to handle real estate transactions, and the round-trip time is long, which brings many inconveniences to the residents of Changxing area. Now, the integration of online registration services in the eastern center of Changxing Island will make the offline round trip of certificate processing go through a lot of trouble. And this is thanks to the handling of the suggestions made by the National People's Congress deputies. This year, the Standing Committee of the Chongming District People's Congress conducted a law enforcement inspection on the Decision of the Standing Committee of the Shanghai Municipal People's Congress on Further Promoting and Ensuring the Reform of "One Network Service". On the basis of extensive collection of social and public opinion, Gu Fangliang, a representative of the District People's Congress and Chairman of the Changxing Town People's Congress, put forward suggestions on the difficulty of obtaining certificates in Changxing Island. Based on the actual needs of the people, we will play a role in empowering information technology,
