At the beginning of year, to attract innovative and entrepreneurial talents, and guide and encourage more overseas students to return to China for employment and entrepreneurship, the Beijing Economic and Technological Development Area (BDA) released new recruitment information.

A series of policies implemented by the BDA will focus on young scientific and technological talents with innovation capabilities, select and support high-level overseas returnees, and arrange special funds to support and encourage talents to start businesses in China. 

This year, the BDA will also spare no effort to support frontier and basic research fields such as artificial intelligence, quantum information, integrated circuits, life and health, biological breeding, and aerospace technology. Talents selected for these projects will receive a one-time award ranging from 100,000 yuan ($15,800) to 300,000 yuan according to their project category.

"As one of the members who returned to China to start a business, I have settled in the Beijing Economic and Technological Development Zone for the past few years, and felt the country's emphasis on talent," said Chen Qian, chief scientist and co-founder of ThorGene Medical, an enterprise in the BDA.

The construction of Beijing's first million-square-meter new international talent community project, a talent service hall that provides investment incubation, talent training, and financial empowerment for talent innovation and entrepreneurship in the BDA, has also entered the final stage. The project is expected to be completed in May.
