Shanghai, an international metropolis featuring the country's opening-up policies, and innovation and inclusiveness, offers the perfect environment for ambitious and creative young people because it welcomes, values, and encourages young people.

The city's history and present both show clearly the power of young people. Over a century ago, 13 young delegates, with an average age of only 28, participated in the first National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC) and announced the founding of the Party in Shanghai, an epic event that sounded the clarion call for the awakening and rise of the nation. This marked the beginning of a new era of national rejuvenation for China.

Three decades ago, a bunch of young pioneers devoted themselves to Pudong's opening-up and development without hesitation, writing a new chapter in the history of China’s reform and opening-up. Thanks to their dedication, Shanghai's Pudong New Area has been home to the country's first finance and trade zone, the first bonded zone, and the first comprehensive pilot zone.

Currently, with the aim of developing into an international metropolis of global influence, the city calls for talented young people from all over the world. Given its current status, every one of them can enjoy equal treatment and great opportunities in the city regardless of their origins, languages, genders and nationalities. If you work hard, you can achieve, have a sense of belonging, and receive recognition.

For talented university graduates, the city will give you opportunities and support, and is looking forward to your development and growth.

For scientific personnel, the city has a big stage thanks to its status as an international scientific and technological innovation center.

For those wanting to start their own businesses in the city, Shanghai is a place of opportunities in industries such as integrated circuit, biomedicine, and artificial intelligence.

Shanghai will create more possibilities for hard-working, ambitious and innovation young people, and for those who aspire to make Shanghai a better city.
