SHENZHEN should pay more attention to the integration and development of innovation chain, the introduction and cultivation of high-end technology talents, as well as the integration of Shenzhen and Hong Kong.

Comparatively speaking, Shenzhen is still weak in basic sciences and has a shortage of high-end professionals in the basic research areas, though it does have the advantage of having a complete manufacturing chain and applied talents.

THE most important thing for attracting new talent is to build an attractive “soft environment.”

To achieve this, Shenzhen should build a talent review system that not only includes an assessment of the talent’s contributions to economic and industrial development, but also includes an incentive mechanism within competitive fields while implementing special recruitment strategies in non-competitive fields.

SHENZHEN should seize the opportunity to build a new engine for the emerging economy.

Although Shenzhen plays an important role in developing low-carbon economy, it still faces challenges, such as shortage of renewable resources and increasing industrial cost.

We should encourage the idea of building a center for carbon neutrality technologies and industrial innovation to gather green enterprises, green financial institutions and green technology transfer and trade platforms with the purpose of encouraging innovation in green fields.
