Talent Converges in Nanyang, Dreams Take Root in Ouyue: Singapore High-Level Talent Exchange Event Successfully Held

To provide strong intellectual support for accelerating the development of an innovative Wenzhou, the "Talent Converges in Nanyang, Dreams Take Root in Ouyue" Singapore High-Level Talent Exchange Event was grandly held on May 10, 2026, at NTU@one-north. Focusing on cross-border talent recruitment and sci-tech innovation matchmaking, the event built an open and pragmatic exchange platform, fully showcasing Wenzhou's urban charm and commitment to innovation, and promoting deep connections between Chinese and Singaporean innovation resources.

At present, Wenzhou is thoroughly implementing its primary strategies of strengthening the city through talent and innovation, and is making every effort to build itself into a regional talent hub. As a global center of science and innovation, Singapore holds advantages in fields such as the digital economy and life and health sciences that are highly complementary to Wenzhou's industries. This event aimed to use talent as a bridge and innovation as a medium to deepen science-education collaboration and the commercialization of research outcomes between the two cities, achieving resonance between global wisdom and Wenzhou's opportunities.

As the main battleground of Wenzhou's innovation-driven development, Longwan District has built a full-chain talent ecosystem of "attracting, cultivating, utilizing, and retaining" talent, relying on dozens of high-level platforms such as the Oujiang Laboratory, China Eye Valley, and the Wenzhou-Nanyang Technological University Joint Research Institute. At the event, Longwan District delivered a presentation on its talent recruitment and cultivation policies, offering a systematic interpretation of the policy benefits. Representatives of overseas high-level talent shared vivid accounts of their innovation and entrepreneurship experiences in Wenzhou based on personal experience, giving attendees a direct understanding of the city's favorable environment for development.

As an important window for Wenzhou to connect with the world's top science and education resources, the Wenzhou-Nanyang Technological University Joint Research Institute continues to play its role as a bridge, promoting cross-border research collaboration, the aggregation of high-end talent, and the implementation of innovation outcomes, injecting sustained momentum into Wenzhou's efforts to enhance its global capacity for innovation resource allocation and expand its international cooperation footprint. By precisely matching Singapore's high-quality talent and project resources, this event effectively expanded Wenzhou's overseas talent recruitment network and significantly enhanced the city's international influence and appeal.

During the exchange sessions, many overseas high-level talents remarked that Wenzhou, with its solid industrial foundation, excellent innovation ecosystem, and broad development opportunities, is an ideal place to realize both academic aspirations and entrepreneurial dreams. Through this event, they gained a more comprehensive understanding of Wenzhou and a stronger desire to be part of it, expressing their hope to visit Wenzhou for on-site exploration at an early date—to apply their talents, build their careers, and create the future together on this land of Ouyue.

Achievements are made through talent, and endeavors flourish with it. This exchange event marks another significant step in Wenzhou
