In recent years, the Yangkou Port Economic Development Zone has leveraged talent attraction to foster industrial growth, focusing on cultivating new quality productive forces. The zone has actively recruited top talent and partnered with renowned universities and research institutions to drive innovation.

A major milestone is the upcoming completion of a 350-million-yuan ($49.36-million) pre-production testing base at Yangkou Port Chemical Park, a collaboration with Peking University's Sunan Institute for Molecular Engineering.

Following the substantial investments of over 45 billion yuan by companies like Tongkun in petrochemical materials and paper industries, several high-end marine equipment manufacturing projects, including Far East Cable and Jusheng Heavy Industry, are progressing rapidly.

The development zone is committed to talent services, offering support in areas such as subsidies, education for children, and housing. The town has evolved into a contemporary urban center with a population exceeding 30,000, over 20,000 high-end talents and skilled industrial laborers. Initiatives like talent fairs, international exchanges, and innovation competitions foster a dynamic environment for skill enhancement and knowledge growth.

Jiang Haitao from CGN Rudong Offshore Wind Power praises the zone's emphasis on technology and talent development. Yangkou Port's focus on nurturing and integrating top talent aims to create a vibrant and prosperous industrial hub.
