With the recent official launch of the 2022 China (Wuxi) Taihu International Elite Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition, Wuxi in east China's Jiangsu Province is sincerely inviting talent as well as innovation and entrepreneurship projects from around the world.

日前，2022中国无锡“太湖杯”国际精英创新创业大赛正式启动，无锡面向全球招揽人才和创新创业项目。

Wuxi ranks first in the country's large and medium-sized cities in terms of its per capita GDP. With the Internet of Things, integrated circuits, biomedicine and other 100-billion-RMB level industries promoting the rapid development of the city, Wuxi sees the clustering of global innovative resources and high-end talent. The 2021 China (Wuxi) Taihu International Elite Innovation & Entrepreneurship Competition as well as many other international events settled down in Wuxi, giving incentives to the quality development of the city. 

中国无锡，人均GDP位列中国大中城市第一名。如今，物联网、集成电路、生物医药等千亿级产业推动着这座城市飞速发展。从智汇长三角到科创太湖湾，全球创新资源在无锡汇聚，众多高端人才在无锡落户。高水平创赛平台赋能城市高质量发展，去年“太湖杯”众多国际项目落地无锡。

Zhao Jianping，the Director of Wuxi Science and Technology Bureau said: “Last year, our competition received 718 project proposals in total. Aside from further promoting the influence of the competition, we will highlight in this year's event the close integration of Wuxi's industries together with those of Japan and South Korea by organizing online roadshows in integrated circuits, new materials, advanced manufacturing industries, etc., so as to enhance our industrial cooperation. ”

无锡市科技局局长赵建平说道：“去年申报我们这个项目达到718项，今年我们将继续扩大赛事的一个影响，针对日本、韩国和无锡产业的一个结合紧密度比较高的一个特点，我们在集成电路、新材料、先进制造等方面，我们将做一些专题的云路演，增强我们和日韩的产业上面的一个合作。”

Listed in the Most Attractive Chinese City for Talent for three consecutive years, Wuxi has set up such organizations as the Yangtze River Delta (Wuxi) International Talent Hub and Wuxi Talent Group to better serve talent and projects. Li Daming, who used to serve in the National Research Council of Canada and the US-based Caterpillar Inc., cannot help singing high praise for Wuxi: “We started our business 5 years ago with six engineers. We selected Wuxi, not only because it's a beautiful city, but also because it's a place to raise a group of engineers. Now we have 150 engineers in our company. And we know we made a right decision. Like five years ago, we compared within a dozen cities and finally chose Wuxi. After we settle down in Wuxi, local government gives us a very good support policy and help us to grow really fast.”

连续三年成为中国“最佳引才城市”的无锡，为了更好地服务人才和项目，陆续成立了长三角（无锡）国际人才港、人才集团等机构。曾先后就职于加拿大国家研究院和美国卡特彼勒公司的李大明，对于无锡有着说不完的赞美：“我们是5年前6个人开始创业的。选择无锡，不光是因为她山清水秀，还因为这个城市很适于培养工程师。目前，我们公司已经拥有150名工程师。我们明白选择无锡这个决定做对了。差不多5年前，我们在全国转了十多个城市，最终选择落户无锡，当地政府给了我们很好的扶持政策，促进公司快速发展。”

Statistics show that Wuxi boasts 152,500 high-level talent, 22,000 international talent, the settlement of more than 1,300 international projects, as well as the establishment of the Taihu Talent Development Fund and Taihu Talent Angel Fund, each with an investment scale of 200 million RMB, to support talent development in the city. From March to May 2022, the 2022 China (Wuxi) Taihu International Elite Innovation & Entrepreneurship Competition is once again inviting talent and project teams from all over the world with up to 10 million RMB of support for winning projects. 

据统计，无锡现有高层次人才15.25万人，国际人才2.2万人，已落地国际项目1300余个，引进并设立规模各2亿元人民币的太湖人才成长基金、太湖人才天使基金助力人才事业发展。今年3月至5月期间，2022中国无锡“太湖杯”国际精英创新创业大赛再次向全球人才和项目团队发出邀请，获奖项目最高可获得1000万元支持。
