Hongkou tailors to the needs of young technology talents, with 40 postdoctoral fellows gathering at the North Bund Technology | Innovation | Youth
On July 28th, the preliminary round of the third Shanghai Postdoctoral Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition was held at the Shanghai Innovation and Creative Design Research Institute. 40 postdoctoral fellows from the three major professional fields of fintech, ocean development and application, and other industries gathered at the North Bund for on-site roadshows and competitions.
This preliminary project presents the characteristics of strong hard technology attributes, multiple original achievements, and strong demand for investment and financing. In the project names of the competition, "key technology", "new technology", and "localization" are high-frequency terms. The core technology of the project relies on the patents and research results of the postdoctoral researcher or his team, with high independent originality and great potential for scientific and technological transformation. In terms of financing needs, ranging from 1 million to tens of millions, it has attracted the attention of relevant government departments such as the Hongkou District Financial Work Bureau, as well as venture capital institutions such as Bank of China Shanghai Branch, Bank of Communications Shanghai Branch, Shanghai Financial Technology Industry Alliance, Zhongtai Securities, and Maizun Private Equity Fund. At the competition site, it provides financing needs matching services for participants.
After intense roadshow competition, outstanding players will advance to the final. The final of the 3rd Shanghai Postdoctoral Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition will be held at the end of August. As one of the main activities of the 2023 Shanghai Professional and Technical Talent Exchange Conference, the winner of the final will receive "Super Postdoctoral" funding, be recommended to participate in the 2nd National Postdoctoral Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition, and the 2023 "Gathering Talents" Global Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition, among other incentives.

Feng Shenhong, Executive Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee of Tongji University, introduced that Tongji University is one of the first units in China to establish postdoctoral mobile stations. Currently, there are 30 postdoctoral research mobile stations, basically achieving full coverage of disciplines. The school adheres to the strategy of strengthening the school with talents and regards the postdoctoral team as a reservoir of teaching staff. Currently, it has nearly a thousand postdoctoral fellows on site. The joint hosting of the preliminary round of the 3rd Shanghai Postdoctoral Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition with Hongkou District not only provides a stage for postdoctoral fellows to showcase their innovative and entrepreneurial talents, but also provides an opportunity for universities and regions to jointly cultivate talents, integrate industry, academia and research, and transform scientific research achievements.
It is reported that Hongkou District is focusing on scientific and technological innovation talents, taking multiple measures to promote the innovation driven strategy, and actively creating a nuclear explosion point for scientific and technological innovation. Joining forces with the North Central Science and Technology Innovation Agglomeration Belt, collaborating with universities and colleges such as Tongji and Fudan, strengthening the co cultivation of scientific and technological innovation talents, and accelerating the transformation of industrial parks. At the same time, leveraging the clustering advantages of financial enterprises and institutions, exploring models such as "investment loan linkage" and "allocation investment combination", innovating and establishing risk sharing mechanisms and full chain acceleration mechanisms. Strengthen the operational management and services of Shanghai Innovation and Creative Design Research Institute, and form an urban innovation ecosystem of "innovation+investment".
Jiang Renhui, Minister of the Organization Department of the Hongkou District Committee, stated that Hongkou District has actively integrated into the construction of a high-level talent highland in the city, with the layout of "one city, three districts, and one belt". The district has issued the "Opinions on Promoting the Gathering of Excellent Talents at Home and Abroad" and the "Special Support Policy for Excellent Graduate Talent Stations at Home and Abroad", incorporating postdoctoral work into the overall planning and systematic promotion of talent work in the district. At the district level, a postdoctoral innovation practice base has been established. By implementing the "Management Measures for the Construction of Hongkou District Postdoctoral Innovation Practice Base", constructing a full chain management mechanism, forming a full cycle support measure, and supporting the units that have settled in the base and the doctoral candidates who have entered, we have attracted 8 units to settle in and formed 13 postdoctoral innovation and entrepreneurship projects.

Next, Hongkou will leverage the spillover effects of the postdoctoral competition, focusing on emerging industries such as biopharmaceuticals, new materials, and green and low-carbon industries. It will adhere to the principles of "making new things out of nothing" and "making new things out of nothing", actively layout new tracks for the future, increase efforts to introduce high-level scientific and technological innovation and entrepreneurship talents and teams, and shape new development momentum and advantages.
The preliminary round of the 3rd Shanghai Postdoctoral Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition is hosted by the Shanghai Municipal Bureau of Human Resources and Social Security, hosted by the Hongkou District Bureau of Human Resources and Social Security, and co organized by Tongji University.
