A fertile land for talents

Talents provide a city with a source of vitality and inexhaustible development impetus. In 2021, Qingdao had a total of 2.51 million talents, and was selected for the tenth time among "Amazing China" - the Most Attractive Chinese Cities for Expats. The development environment for talents is continuously optimized, and the advantage of gathering high-end, elite and top talents becomes obvious. Groups of young people crossed mountains and rivers to come here, dance to the rhythm of the city, and trust the city with their youth and dreams.

Qingdao is home to dozens of high-end research and development institutions under CAS, universities, central enterprises and international organizations, as well as over 20 famous universities including Ocean University of China, China University of Petroleum (East China), and Shandong University (Qingdao).

By organizing talent fairs online and offline, we continuously open up new channels for various talents to come and stay in Qingdao, create brand events to recruit talents and strive to establish new platforms for attracting and gathering talents.

By implementing the "Strengthening Qingdao with Talents" program, we enhance the introduction of highend talents, improve the coordination mechanism of highlevel talents service, provide tiered financial support for talents to engage in innovation and start-up businesses, build talent housing, launch and run the online map of Qingdao talent innovation and entrepreneurship platforms with the brand of "Talent Cloud". All the measures are put in place to provide talents with all the services and support they need every step of the way.
