The coordinated development between Taizhou and Shanghai entered a new stage on April 18 as the Taizhou Talent Week activities were held in Shanghai.

On the opening day, six regional offshore innovation centers were unveiled. Key cooperation agreements were signed between Taizhou Medical High-Tech Zone and Tongji University Putuo Park, and between Hailing Industrial Park and East China Normal University Sci-Tech Park. These partnerships aim to strengthen collaboration in research and development, pilot-scale incubation, and industry -talent integration, further linking the innovation chains of the two cities.

On April 20, over 1,100 jobs from 70 Taizhou enterprises and institutions were announced at Shanghai Jiao Tong University. Taizhou also showcased its strong support for talent development, offering up to 100 million yuan ($13.7 million) in special talent funds and up to 20 million yuan for individual projects.

The first jointly hosted Sci-Tech Market brought together 17 companies, four universities and research institutes, and four financial institutions from both cities, facilitating precise matchmaking between technological needs, innovation outcomes, and financial services.

Meanwhile, at the Shanghai-Taizhou Healthcare Dialogue, top hospitals and leading medical experts from both cities launched comprehensive cooperation initiatives. More high-quality healthcare resources will soon be transplanted to Taizhou, enhancing the city's medical service capabilities.
