Gathering brings prosperity to the city, and prosperity brings prosperity to the city. In March, a spring festival spanning thousands of miles arrived as scheduled in Yanyuan. The "Million Talents Gathering in Southern Guangdong" Spring Recruitment Ceremony for N Cities in 2026 opened at Peking University: 136 high-quality employers with 14500 positions appeared, and seven major industrial zones were fully deployed - artificial intelligence, new generation electronic information and integrated circuits, new energy and automobile manufacturing, biomedicine and big health, commerce and finance, public services, and APEC overseas enterprises, jointly outlining a clear trajectory for the continuous upward movement of Guangdong's industrial value chain. Employment is the "barometer" of the economy, and jobs are the "barometer" of industries. Through these 14500 positions, we can not only see the vigorous pace of Shenzhen's high-end and intelligent industries, but also feel the inherent vitality of the Greater Bay Area's economy. New industries nurture new jobs: Industry iteration is hidden in every job change. Every step of industry iteration is hidden in the changes of employment positions. With every step forward in the industry, the job market is revitalized. Founded in 2023, Zhifang has grown into a billion dollar unicorn in the field of embodied intelligence in just a few years. At the Peking University job fair, Mo Lei, Vice President of Zhifang, introduced that the company has launched 110 positions around six major directions: algorithms, engineering, and products, covering emerging professions such as embodied intelligent algorithm engineers and robot operation and control algorithm engineers. The team size of the company has expanded from over a hundred people to nearly 300 people. The growth curve of this enterprise is a microcosm of the layout of Shenzhen's "20+8" industrial cluster - every acceleration of emerging industries has caused ripples in the job market. The emerging industries have driven a surge in demand for high-end R&D talents, while also giving rise to a large number of inclusive positions. Founded in 2020, Tuozhu Technology aims to transform the consumer 3D printing market with industrial grade performance standards, building a complete ecosystem of printers, model platforms, software tools, and consumables, and pushing 3D printing from a "niche tool" to popular home and personal creation scenarios. By 2025, its revenue will exceed 10 billion yuan. With the popularization of the "print farm" model, a large number of distributed employment positions such as equipment management, printing layout, and model processing have emerged, achieving the synergy between high-end talent attraction and inclusive employment. The infrastructure industry is not a bystander either. Shenzhen enterprise Jialichuang opened up a Xintiandi with digital transformation - the first PCB "panel" mode, reduced the cost of proofing from thousands of yuan to tens of yuan, and shortened the shipping cycle to the fastest 12 hours, building a "one-stop service" infrastructure for the electronics and machinery industry chain. Nowadays, the average annual growth rate of Jialichuang's employee scale exceeds 20%, surpassing 10000 people, becoming a "stable supplier" of employment opportunities. Wang Chuhong, Director of the Human Resources and Social Security Bureau of Shenzhen, said, "More and more emerging enterprises with strong development momentum are joining the talent recruitment team, which fully demonstrates that industrial optimization and upgrading are giving birth to broad employment opportunities, and enterprises and talents are achieving 'two-way rush' in Shenzhen." Optimal Talent Gathering: How a city can deserve the best talents "Shenzhen is a youth city that" understands young people the most and can support them the most ". ”Vice Secretary of the Shenzhen Municipal Party Committee and Mayor Qin Weizhong said so. What does Shenzhen rely on to attract talent? It relies on the uniqueness of the industrial ecosystem. There is no place in the world like Shenzhen where 70% to 80% of robot parts can be found within a radius of one kilometer or 30 minutes. Shenzhen is the future of embodied intelligence! "Said Wang Qiandao, founder of the independent variable robot, highlighting the core competitiveness of Shenzhen's industrial supporting facilities. With this confidence, the independent variable has launched cleaning robots and delivery robots connected to drones, which have landed in Shenzhen. It relies on the deep support of enterprises. BYD Chairman Wang Chuanfu looks back on his entrepreneurial journey: In the early stages of entrepreneurship, there were no fixed assets or financing difficulties. Shenzhen's financial service institutions, which specialize in providing guarantees for small and medium-sized enterprises, provided timely assistance to help them stand firm. From being looked down upon by others to becoming one of the world's top 100; From being underestimated by others, achieve three major green dreams; From not being trusted by others to becoming the world's top selling brand in new energy vehicle sales. BYD's growth history is a vivid footnote to Shenzhen's support for enterprises and achievement of talents. It relies on genuine care for the urgent and difficult needs of talents. From industrial support, scene openness, and financing support to housing security and household registration, Shenzhen enables talents to stay and do well. At the Tsinghua special job fair, the Youth Talent Service Zone provides one-stop services such as talent pre identification and housing pre registration. Zhang Rongqiao, a Tsinghua student who has received an offer from Shenzhen, said, "The most concerning issue is housing, and providing up to three years of housing support is very helpful." "I love talent as my life and view it as my shell. ”Yan Ning, president of the Shenzhen Academy of Medical Sciences and academician of the CAS Member, expressed his emotion and expressed the courtesy to talents in South Guangdong. It is reported that Shenzhen has taken the lead in proposing the construction of a youth development oriented city, and has established a "one bed, one room, one suite" housing system and a "one desk, one office, one floor office building" employment system, providing comprehensive guarantees for the development of young people in Shenzhen. That's why batches of college students are pursuing their dreams in southern Guangdong. Zhang Jin, Executive Vice President of Peking University, introduced that Guangdong has become the preferred employment destination for Peking University students outside of Beijing, with an average of nearly a thousand people heading south every year. Talent Gathering Promotes Development: Talent Gathering Builds a Mighty Momentum for a New Round of Upgrading and Transformation. Industrial development relies on talent, and talent gathering is the key to prosperity. The dividends released by the continuous gathering of talents will eventually be transformed into tangible driving forces for economic development, forming a virtuous cycle of prosperous industries, more talents, and better development. Facing the new journey of the 15th Five Year Plan, Guangdong's industrial map continues to expand and upgrade. Du Minqi, Director of the Department of Human Resources and Social Security of Guangdong Province, stated that from optimizing and upgrading trillion level pillar industries such as new generation information, green petrochemicals, and smart home appliances, to cultivating and strengthening strategic emerging industry clusters such as new energy vehicles, new energy storage, and low altitude economy, to forward-looking layouts for future industries such as artificial intelligence, brain computer interfaces, and quantum technology, various fields are in great demand for talents. Seeking talent is like thirst, valuing talent and loving talent. Zhang Guozhi, member of the Standing Committee of the Guangdong Provincial Party Committee and Vice Governor, stated that Lingnan regards talent as a treasure and will provide a platform, policies, dividends, and favorable environment for talent with a total economic output of 14 trillion yuan, a comprehensive manufacturing system, and over 20 million business entities.
