The biomedical industry is a strategic emerging industry that the country, Zhejiang Province and Hangzhou City focus on. The development of the industry in our city started early and enjoys a great foundation. The provincial and municipal governments have issued a series of support policies and gathered a large number of high-end talents. Under this general trend, the special biomedical event is of great significance to promote industrial upgrading and gather talents.
Highlight I: The Event Helps Digitally Analyze the Technical Needs Of Enterprises.
In order to accurately meet the needs of both the supply and demand sides and promote the seamless connection between "research capabilities" and "industry needs", HIAS relies on its own Science and Technology Innovation Brain platform, launches the function of "Competition for Critical Projects·Global Talent Introduction", and initially matches 634 enterprise needs submitted by counties, county-level cities, and districts in Hangzhou with related experts. Moreover, HIAS gives priority to urgent use and embraces pragmatic feasibility as well as accuracy and effectiveness. It identifies 191 technical problems in new energy, energy conservation and environmental protection, and new-generation information technology. Based on this, HIAS has given full play to the advantages of its role as the window and agglomeration effect of the Chinese Academy of Sciences system in Hangzhou. In the early stage, it launched major activities such as the "'Competition for Critical Projects' Major Technical Needs and Project Release Conference". In accordance with the principle of full interaction between enterprises and experts and accelerated integration online and offline, it has promoted nearly 10 teaching and research institutions of the Chinese Academy of Sciences system to provide door-to-door services to and analyze the demands of 21 enterprises in Hangzhou in a short period of time.

Highlight IV: Qiantang District Sets up the First Biomedical Industry-Talent Integration Platform.
In February this year, the CPC Zhejiang Provincial Committee held a conference on digitization reform to deploy the reform in Zhejiang Province comprehensively. Qiantang District has seized the new opportunity of digital reform, initiated the biomedical industry-talent integration platform, and empowered the deeply integrated development of industries and talents by digitalization. The platform is divided into two parts. The first is related to governance. Establishing an industrial chain talent evaluation index, the part gathers talent demands, builds a national biomedical talent pool, and accurately serves the introduction and cultivation of biomedical talents. Moreover, it sets up a job-housing map for biomedical talents to provide data support for improving public service support for talents. The second is related to service. This part develops a biomedical talent evaluation system in which talents can be evaluated with "one-click". In addition, it builds a community of biomedical talents. It is worth mentioning that at the event, Qiantang District first released the evaluation standards for biomedical talents. This is the in-depth implementation of upgrading the talent evaluation system proposed at the Central Talent Work Conference. Guided by industrialization and marketization, the evaluation system makes more biomedical talents stand out and fully encourages them to pursue innovation and entrepreneurship by evaluating the talents from seven aspects, such as work experience, remuneration, and innovation achievement.
Anyone competent can compete for the critical projects. Since the implementation of the project, Hangzhou has collected 1,092 projects, with a total amount of RMB 4.57 billion. At present, 215 major problems have been tackled, and the problem solvers have obtained over RMB 520 million. With the help of the "strongest brain" to solve the "bottleneck" problems in scientific and technological innovation, the "Competition for Critical Projects" mechanism is widely recognized by enterprises and talents.Hangzhou will continue to firmly implement the spirit of the Central Talent Work Conference and focus on pushing forward the "Competition for Critical Projects" for key industries to better inspire talents to pursue innovation and creation. In addition, it will promote scientific and technological innovation and gather various talents to provide scientific and technological impetus and talent guarantee for Hangzhou to strive to achieve high-quality development and serve as a model city of common prosperity in Zhejiang.
