Int'l talent exchange meeting to open in SW China

The 4th Yunnan International Talent Exchange Meeting is scheduled to open in Kunming, capital of southwest China's Yunnan Province on October 21, the organizer said Thursday.

Over 350 experts, scholars and high-level talents from more than 20 countries and regions including the UK, Germany and Russia, are expected to attend the event.

The event, with the theme of "gathering the world's talents to promote Yunnan's leap forward," will include projects matchmaking meetings, forums, academic conferences, a job fair and other activities, covering the fields of biotechnology, digital economy, new energy and international cooperation in technology transfer.

Yunnan has made great efforts to expand the opening up of the field of scientific and technological innovation, hoping to recruit a group of scientific and technological talents with global visions and international standards through the event, said Ruan Chaoqi, deputy director of the Science and Technology Department of Yunnan.

In-session activities will continue until December this year.

A total of 272 overseas high-level talents have been introduced and more than 240 intellectual projects have been settled in Yunnan during the past three talent exchange meetings.
