The second Overseas Chinese Talent Conference for Development will be held in Fuzhou, capital of East China's Fujian province, from Dec 16 to 18.

With the theme "Pursuing a Future of Innovation-Driven Development with Overseas Chinese Wisdom", the conference aims to serve as a premier platform for international exchange and cooperation, deeply rooted in Fujian while catering to a global audience.

Structured around a comprehensive "1+1+4" activity framework, the event encompasses a series of opening ceremony activities, a series of scientific and technological achievements docking activities, and four thematic sections focusing on talent attraction, dialogue, exhibition, and cultivation, comprising a total of 19 events.

Shaanxi province, the city of Dalian, and Peking University will participate as the guest province, city, and university of honor, respectively, along with 33 provincial and municipal federations of returned overseas Chinese.

Key activities include the launch of a collaborative mechanism among multiple provinces and the unveiling of various talent and industry policies.

Additionally, the conference will feature technology matchmaking events aimed at addressing critical technical challenges in Fujian's key industries. By soliciting technological needs from enterprises and research institutions prior to the conference and unveiling them during the event, the focus will be on leveraging the accomplishments of overseas talent to amplify the conference's impact.

Moreover, the conference will emphasize three crucial integrations: the harmonization of short-term and long-term strategies to balance immediate project implementation with the sustained development of overseas talent resources; the fusion of high-end expertise with practical applications to attract top-tier talent while promoting the practical use of skills and technologies; and the integration of talent attraction with service provision, ensuring not only effective talent recruitment but also comprehensive post-recruitment services.
