As part of the 2021 Convention on Exchange of Overseas Talent and the 23rd Guangzhou Convention of Overseas Chinese Scholars in Science and Technology (OCS), the 2021 Guangzhou Job Fair for Foreigners is ongoing in Guangzhou, Guangdong province and will last until December 31, attracting global talents’ attention to the “City of Flowers”.
China is known for its dynamic manufacturing industry across the world, and Guangdong province is the epitome of it. Now, both the province and China at large are evolving from “Made in China” to “Created in China” and therefore, in dire need of talent to advance technologies and develop smart manufacturing.
What will be the role of foreign talents in this process of China’s manufacturing upgrade? From a country whose economy was wrecked by prolonged war and industrial sectors were barely complete, how has China metamorphosed into the “world’s factory”? What is its plan to realize “Created in China” in the midst of the Fourth Industrial Revolution?
In this video, GZAIEP & GDToday guest presenter Anna, who works as the International Technology Transfer Manager at the International Institute of Research and Innovation (Huangpu), will lead you into an adventure of innovation in Huangpu district, Guangzhou to explore how manufacturing is being smarter in China and why global talents are attracted to this area.
