Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU) and Shanghai's Minhang district launched the "Jiao Tong Window" cooperation project in the Hongqiao International Central Business District (CBD) on Dec 27, with SJTU's Shanghai Advanced Institute of Finance (SAIF) setting up operations in the CBD.
The collaboration aims to propel the development of the Hongqiao International Open Hub as well as the integrated development of the Yangtze River Delta to new heights. It is set to create a new hub for high-end professional talent and technological innovation, establishing a landmark brand in the CBD.
The SAIF Greater Hongqiao Center, a highlight of the project, features state-of-the-art smart classroom systems, enhancing interaction between faculty and students. The center supports talent training and executive education for companies. The convenient local transportation network will make it easier to get around for students and faculty from the Yangtze River Delta and beyond.
The project will focus on high-end training, hosting events, and fostering open exchanges. SAIF plans to establish a comprehensive high-end training education product line at the center and serve as SJTU's reception hall for important forums and alumni activities.
SAIF operates under a world-class business school model. Since its establishment in 2009, it has adhered to a mission of cultivating top-tier financial talent and serving as a leading policy think tank. With strong support from the Shanghai government and SJTU, SAIF has established centers in Beijing and the Greater Bay Area, completing its strategic layout in China's major financial hubs.
