Recently, the 12th Shenzhen Hong Kong (Qianhai) Talent Cooperation Annual Conference, jointly organized by Shenzhen Qianhai Management Bureau and Hong Kong Talent Service Office, came to a successful conclusion. At the meeting, the "Bay Area Talent Connect" platform, which symbolizes the integration of Shenzhen and Hong Kong services, was officially unveiled. The newly established "Shenzhen Hong Kong HR Alliance" was launched simultaneously, and a series of heavyweight measures and service platforms were launched, taking the integration and development of Shenzhen and Hong Kong talents to a new stage. Looking back over the past year, Shenzhen and Hong Kong have worked closely together. The two sides "went to sea together" and issued "olive branches" to global talents. A series of innovative measures have broken the barriers to talent flow in Shenzhen and Hong Kong - so that talents do not have to do Single choice question questions between Shenzhen and Hong Kong, helping the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area to build a regional innovation community with rules convergence, resource exchange and opportunity sharing, and jointly building a "strong magnetic field" for the Greater Bay Area to attract international talents. Joining hands to go global and expand the international talent introduction "circle of friends". Here, there are large technology companies, excellent universities, a good startup ecosystem, and an active international community. Moreover, new policies make it more convenient for foreigners to come to China for development. ”Ramsey, Senior Director of Johnson&Johnson Medical in France, shared his feelings with reporters after using the "Shenzhen Hong Kong 72 hour Experience Voucher". Having been deeply involved in the field of biomedicine for over 20 years and having worked in multiple parts of the world, he sees infinite possibilities for innovative development in the Greater Bay Area for the next decade. I plan to bring my industry experience here and collaborate deeply with local governments, universities, and startups, either by establishing a consulting firm or starting a startup. This is my clear goal. ”The immersive experience of just three days has filled Ramsey with anticipation for his development in the Greater Bay Area, and he has begun to plan his future career blueprint. Also attracted by the innovative vitality of the Greater Bay Area is Laura Flanagan, a researcher at Trinity College Dublin. She, who is engaged in research on underwater acoustics and fluid mechanics, visited top universities, science and technology innovation parks, and world-class technology companies in Shenzhen and Hong Kong during her three-day trip. Not only did she gain early insights into cutting-edge innovation trends in the industry, but she also reached a preliminary cooperation intention with a technology company in Shenzhen. The atmosphere here makes people feel that opportunities are right in front of them, and the efforts made by the government to promote scientific and technological innovation are full of vitality everywhere, "Laura said frankly. The experience of Ramsey and Laura is a vivid practice of the joint talent introduction mechanism between Shenzhen and Hong Kong. Looking back to June 2025, the Qianhai Management Bureau and the Hong Kong Talent Service Office officially signed the "Memorandum of Cooperation on Joint Talent Recruitment and Talent Introduction", marking the official launch of the mechanism of collaboration and joint recruitment between Shenzhen and Hong Kong. The "Shenzhen Hong Kong 72 hour Experience Coupon" is the first "hot selling" talent attraction product jointly launched by both parties, which deeply integrates the advantages of Hong Kong's "super contacts" and Qianhai's "innovation engine" momentum. Nowadays, the newly launched "Bay Area Talent Connect" is promoting the institutionalized docking and systematic co construction of talent cooperation between the two regions. The platform takes "policy recognition" as its core breakthrough, promotes the connection of talent evaluation standards between Shenzhen and Hong Kong, and provides visa convenience for foreign talents in Hong Kong. At the same time, the "Shenzhen Hong Kong HR Alliance" has established a market-oriented and systematic recruitment and recommendation network, continuously expanding the international talent introduction "circle of friends". A series of policies and platforms were intensively introduced throughout the year, and both Shenzhen and Hong Kong jointly conducted joint talent introduction activities overseas to achieve talent attraction, sharing, and utilization. By constructing a "policy co promotion, activity co organization, and service linkage" model, a cross-border talent development highway network covering qualification recognition, recruitment docking, experiential services, and resource support has been fully laid out in Qianhai, sending a strong signal to the world to attract talents globally. Optimizing services and promoting the integration of the four links with all factors to attract talents and build nests in Shenzhen Hong Kong cooperation requires not only the connection between physical space and institutional level, but also the indispensable elements of technology, funding, policy environment, etc. for science and technology innovation talents. The recently officially released "Qianhai Golden Wharf" science and technology innovation industry finance service platform accurately resolves the pain points of unsmooth investment and financing channels and information asymmetry in the field of science and technology innovation, and promotes the integration of talent chain, capital chain, industry chain, and innovation chain in innovative projects. The launch of "Qianhai Golden Wharf" is just a microcosm of Shenzhen's promotion of "four chain integration" with precise services. This has brought great convenience to the scientific research transformation and talent landing of our Hong Kong school. ”Liu Jianjiang, Executive Dean of the Qianhai Frontier Technology Research Center at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University, shared his feelings about visiting the international talent gathering landmark "Qianhai Building 5" with reporters. "Here, talent, capital, industry, and innovation elements are highly aggregated, efficiently matched, and a dynamic high-quality development landscape is drawn." In December 2025, the first batch of 14 entrepreneurial incubation projects of the Hong Kong Polytechnic University will enter Qianhai. "Professors will bring their research achievements and teams in Hong Kong to Qianhai and cooperate with local enterprises. At the same time, we will timely disseminate a large number of support policies for young talents and enterprises in Hong Kong and Macao to Hong Kong, attracting more talents to Qianhai," Liu Jianjiang said happily. In Shenzhen, the concept of "internationalization, hub type, all-weather" has been translated into specific scenarios: upstairs, entrepreneurship competitions and low altitude economic roadshows are staged in rotation; Downstairs, the investment and financing matchmaking meeting is filled with investors. The first "Enterprise Overseas Talent Service Center" and cross-border government "Talent Reception Room" in the Greater Bay Area provide one-stop services from work permits to settling down in life. In Shenzhen, there is a balance between "temperature" and "speed" in serving talents. Building 9 international schools, 10 international medical institutions, and creating an international talent community... These measures allow international talents to "settle down" and "feel at ease". Mechanism innovation enables the continuous flow of science and technology innovation. With profound changes in the current international environment, we urgently need to build a world-class talent hub and gather more high-quality talents from around the world. In Qianhai and Shenzhen, we can see the organic combination of a government, an efficient market, and a dynamic society, which is the key to attracting talent as the 'first resource' and helping China seize the opportunity in the competition of the fourth industrial revolution. ”Zheng Yongnian, Dean of the School of Public Policy at The Chinese University of Hong Kong (Shenzhen), is full of confidence in the future of talent integration and development between Shenzhen and Hong Kong. It is reported that Hong Kong has five of the world's top 100 universities with strong basic research capabilities and considerable room for achievement transformation. Shenzhen's exploration of the "Bay Area Science and Technology Innovation Broker" model aims to build a closed loop of "Hong Kong Basic Research - Qianhai Technology Transformation - Bay Area Production and Manufacturing - Global Market Expansion", which is enabling efficient flow of science and technology innovation resources between the two places and forming an innovative "active water". Through the innovative mechanism of the "Bay Area Science and Technology Innovation Broker", Hong Kong universities provide research positions, while Qianhai provides a transformation platform. With the support of Qianhai Shenzhen Hong Kong Youth Dream Factory, we jointly introduce high-end talents who "conduct research in Hong Kong during the day and return to Qianhai for entrepreneurship at night", achieving simultaneous promotion and two-way empowerment of research and transformation. The effectiveness of the innovative model is becoming apparent: Professor Yang Hongxia's team from the Hong Kong Polytechnic University has landed the "End Side Intelligence" project in Qianhai and received millions of dollars in financing; Professor Huang Mingxin's team from the University of Hong Kong achieved mass production from samples in Qianhai within one year. At present, Qianhai has incubated over 1100 Hong Kong teams, including 44 national high-tech enterprises. Five Hong Kong universities, including the University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Chinese University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, and Hong Kong Baptist University, have established conversion centers, with over 110 projects landing in Qianhai. In the future, Qianhai will continue to unleash its' magnetic attraction 'towards talent, deepen cooperation between Shenzhen and Hong Kong, promote technological innovation, and provide strong support for the development of Shenzhen and the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area. ”The relevant person in charge of Qianhai Management Bureau said.
