The 4th G60 Yangtze River Delta Sci-tech Innovation Valley Talent Summit engaging officials and high-end talents from nine cities across the region kicked off in Suzhou, East China's Jiangsu province on Sept 27, local media outlets reported.

The Yangtze River Delta Sci-tech Innovation Valley, which was founded in 2016, consists of Songjiang district in Shanghai, Jiaxing, Hangzhou, Jinhua and Huzhou in Zhejiang province, Suzhou in Jiangsu province, and Xuancheng, Wuhu and Hefei in Anhui province.

The talent summit has been hosted by the nine cities in turn since 2018.

Themed "Gathering Talents in the Yangtze River Delta and Accumulating Wisdom in G60," this year's summit has launched a package of policies for talents, built a number of talent cultivation service bases, and formed an alliance of high-level talent recruitment for the Valley.

Centered on strategic emerging industries and the digital economy, the nine cities agreed to work together to offer nearly 15,000 jobs, covering fields such as integrated circuits, biopharmaceuticals, high-end equipment, and new materials.

Up to now, the nine cities have attracted over 11.9 million high-caliber talents and professionals, more than 1,000 national-level talents, and over 4,200 talents at and above the provincial level.
