A global talent hub, an open invitation

Chinese and foreign youth representatives issued a compelling invitation to global talents: Gather in Beijing, Create the Future. Zhang Linfeng, founder and chief scientist of DP Technology and winner of the 2024 Beijing Science and Technology Award - Zhongguancun Award for Outstanding Young Scientists, noted that Beijing not only provides a top-tier research environment but also instills young innovators with profound confidence. He emphasized that the city boasts a dense concentration of top talents, a comprehensive industrial ecosystem, and full-cycle policy support for startups — from their early stages to mature growth. This includes robust, all-encompassing resources such as funding support, talent apartments, and dedicated entrepreneurship stewardship services. Highlighting this ecosystem, he shared that DP Technology's inaugural startup funding came directly from Beijing's Zhongguancun Disruptive Technology R&D and Commercialization Program, even before its angel round of financing.
