Recently, Yazhou Bay Science and Technology City in Sanya, China, was approved as a National Offshore Entrepreneurship Base for Overseas Professionals, accelerating its development as a demonstration zone for international talent innovation and entrepreneurship. Since its launch in 2019, the City has provided comprehensive support for domestic and overseas talents, focusing on key industries such as the seed industry, deep-sea science and technology, life sciences, and the digital economy.
The City has created a team of Service Specialists known as “Cheng Xiaoer” to serve domestic and overseas talents and enterprises. Charlotte from Belgium, the first international Cheng Xiaoer, has been working in the City for three years, primarily responsible for international enterprise services and investment. The City has also established an international talent workstation and the “ITCC International Talent Community”, attracting 324 international talents who regularly exchange experiences in Hainan.
Charlotte, the International Investment Manager, actively promotes the Science and Technology City to guests in English. The City plans to leverage the Hainan Free Trade Port policies to introduce enterprise and talent systems to encourage overseas project leaders, high-level talents, and funds to relocate to the City, further attracting international talents to start businesses and pursue employment opportunities.
