Shaoxing’s Keqiao District has established a high-standard “International Talent Enterprise Service Hub” within the Zhejiang (Shaoxing) High-Level Foreign Talent Innovation Zone. This hub aims to provide value-added services for overseas talents and their projects, effectively creating a magnetic field for global talent aggregation and fully unleashing the talent dividend.
I. Cultivating an Innovation-Driven Talent Attraction Model
Innovative Operation Model:
The hub has developed a unique “government + operating company + third-party institutions” synergy mechanism. Under government commission, the operating company is responsible for investment promotion, comprehensive enterprise services, financing, and more. To support its business operations, the company introduces specialized subsidiaries in areas such as investment management, property services, asset operations, fund management, and incubation, along with corresponding internal departments that are flexibly adjusted as needed.
New Talent Referral Mechanism:
An innovative foreign recommender system has been established, where overseas talents are encouraged to refer one another, with partial equity in the operating company offered as an incentive. Through this mechanism, 25 provincial-level or higher foreign experts have already been introduced, including 5 designated as provincial overseas engineers.
Refined Talent Evaluation System:
The hub pioneers a model where settled overseas experts conduct exclusive evaluations and has introduced a “green channel” for fast-track recognition. Projects that meet talent level and qualification standards are granted titles directly. In the first half of this year, a provincial-level postdoctoral workstation was successfully established, leading to the onboarding of 2 overseas postdoctoral projects and 3 PhD-level talents through the direct recognition path.
II. Creating Deep Integration Between Industry and Talent to Accelerate Innovation
Funding and Market Access for Talent Projects:
To address financing challenges often faced by asset-light innovation projects from overseas talents, the hub organizes roadshows, investment matchmaking, and industry resource linkups. Over 40 such events have been held this year. An innovation and entrepreneurship co-investment mechanism has also been launched: for projects that attract investments from renowned institutions within two years of settling, the government will co-invest at a 1:1 ratio to accelerate growth.
International Science and Technology Collaboration:
To foster deeper engagement between overseas universities and talent with Chinese stakeholders, the hub has created an International Scientist Exchange Center. It hosts thematic meetings and seminars to facilitate access to government support, financial resources, and industry partners. In 2024, the hub welcomed delegations from University College London, Aarhus University (Denmark), and others, and hosted over 40 talent exchange activities such as the “Italian Experts in Keqiao” program.
Promoting Technology Commercialization:
To help local enterprises overcome technological bottlenecks, the hub connects them with specialized overseas experts. Over 60 collaborative projects have been established. One notable example is the partnership between Zhejiang Meisheng New Materials Co., Ltd. and an overseas expert team on a project titled “Key Technologies for Localizing Automotive Interior Materials.” The result helped the company achieve the 4th largest global market share in synthetic suede for car interiors.
III. Building a “Home Away from Home” for International Talent
One-Stop Service Green Channel:
A dedicated “Green Channel” has been established at the hub for foreign talent affairs, covering 34 services in 10 categories such as immigration, entrepreneurship, and residency, with 17 procedures simplified from approval to filing. On-site representatives from departments including the Science and Technology Bureau, Public Security Bureau, and Science City Office provide services such as work permits, driving services, and home-buying guidance.
European-Style Living Community:
An international lifestyle zone adjacent to the hub has been developed to enhance the daily experience of foreign professionals. This area includes talent apartments, public meeting spaces, a foreign-language book lounge, gym, Western restaurants, and international supermarkets, offering a well-rounded work-life environment and cultural support.
Team-Based “Talent Butler” Services:
Top-tier service agencies collaborate with government officials to form a “Talent Butler” team, providing personalized, one-on-one concierge services for high-level foreign talent through regular visits. “International Talent Service Vouchers” are also distributed, which can be redeemed for professional legal, accounting, translation, and agency services at no cost.
绍兴市柯桥区在浙江（绍兴）外国高端人才创新集聚区高标准打造“国际人才企业服务驿站”，为海外人才及项目发展提供增值化服务，有效形成海外人才集聚磁场效应，充分释放人才红利。
一、深耕运营模式“试验田”创新引才机制
创新服务驿站运营模式。构建“政府+运营公司+第三方机构”联动机制。运营服务公司根据政府委托内容，负责招商引资、企业综合服务、投融资等业务板块，并根据业务发展布局的需要，引进投资管理、物业管理、资产运营、基金管理、孵化器等专业子公司，设立相应内部部门并适时进行调整。
创新海外人才举荐制度。创新建立外籍举荐人制度，以浙江（绍兴）外国高端人才创新集聚区运营公司的部分股权作为奖励，鼓励海外人才相互引荐。目前通过引荐已落户省级以上外籍人才25人，其中5名为省级海外工程师。
完善人才项目评审制度。创新由已落户海外专家进行专场评审的模式，并完善直接认定“绿色通道”，对人才层次、项目资质通过研判审查的项目直接授予相应头衔。今年上半年，成功创建省级博士后工作站，通过直接认定通道落户海外博士项目2个、博士人才3名。
二、创设产才共融“超链接”推动成果转化
牵线资助人才项目。针对海外人才“轻资产”创新项目缺少贷款担保、融资难问题，驿站组织开展项目路演、投融资对接、行业渠道资源对接等活动，为人才项目积极协助对接市场化基金公司、孵化器公司和知名投资者。今年来在驿站开展项目路演和资本对接活动40余场次。同时，设立创新创业专项基金跟投制度，对国际人才项目落户两年内引入知名机构投资的，1:1跟投助力项目发展。
对接国际科创交流。针对海外高校、人才来华，要与政府、金融机构面对面交流，加深了解扶持政策及方式的需求，驿站专门开辟国际科学家交流中心，组织开展专场洽谈会、研讨会，助其进一步对接各项资源、展现科技创新企业风采。今年来，积极承接英国伦敦大学学院、丹麦奥胡斯大学等国外高校来访交流活动，组织开展“意联柯桥”海外专家柯桥行等对接活动40余场。
推动人才科技转化。针对区内重点产业和企业核心技术迭代升级难突破问题，驿站在接到企业诉求后，积极寻找匹配专业技术人才，推动海外人才与本地企业开展民间科技交流合作，目前已达成相关合作项目60余个。如浙江梅盛新材料有限公司与海外人才合作研究的“车用内饰材料替代进口产业化的关键技术”项目，助力企业超纤仿麂皮绒材料在汽车内饰市场占有率居全球第4。
三、打造海外人才“安心家”提供个性服务
开设一站式服务“绿色通道”。在驿站开设外籍人才办事“绿色通道”，推出移民事务服务、海外人才创业服务等10方面34项服务，17项手续由审批转为备案。区科技局、公安局、科技城等部门常驻驿站，为海外人才提供来华工作许可办理、车驾服务、购房指引等服务。
建成国际化生活“风情街区”。加强驿站衍生的生活街区建设。目前已配套建成具备人才公寓、公共会议室、外文书吧、健身馆、西餐厅、洋超市等工作生活、商业文娱设施的欧洲风情生活街区，充分为海外人才提供生活保障、人文关怀。
