The first batch of foreign talent receiving work permits is just the starting point for talent opening up in Hainan after its closure. According to the plan, by 2035, Hainan will be built into an important international talent hub in the Asia-Pacific region. To achieve this goal, Hainan needs to continuously make efforts in multiple areas such as policy deepening, industry upgrading, and service optimization, allowing global talent to realize their dreams here and making Hainan a talent highland connecting the Asia-Pacific and radiating to the world.
In terms of policy deepening, Hainan needs to further expand the breadth and depth of talent openness. Currently, Hainan is planning to expand the identification scope of foreign 'high-end and urgently needed' talents, fully incorporating foreign talents with an annual income of over 300,000 yuan into the preferential system. At the same time, it is exploring the establishment of an immigration service center, further relaxing visa and residence restrictions, and providing more convenient entry and residence services for foreign talents. In addition, Hainan should continue to promote mutual recognition of overseas professional qualifications, expand the scope of mutual recognition, and enable more international professionals to practice conveniently in Hainan.
Industrial upgrading is the core support for building an international talent hub. In the future, Hainan needs to focus on frontier fields such as commercial aerospace, digital economy, deep-sea technology, and biomedicine, increase efforts in industrial cultivation, and create more high-value jobs. By continuously expanding the scope of 'zero tariff' goods and optimizing the policy of tax exemption for the domestic sales of processed value-added goods, more foreign-funded enterprises will be attracted to settle in, forming a virtuous cycle of 'industry attracting talent and talent promoting industry.' It is expected that by 2030, Hainan's high-end industries will form scale advantages, further enhancing its appeal to international talents.
Service optimization is the key to retaining talent. Hainan needs to continuously improve the international living support, increase the number of international schools and international medical institutions, and enhance service quality; optimize the international flight network, strengthen transportation connections with major cities in the Asia-Pacific region; promote the construction of a multilingual public service system, making it more convenient and comfortable for foreign talents to live in Hainan. At the same time, strengthen intellectual property protection, improve labor rights protection mechanisms, and create a fair competitive market environment, allowing talents to start businesses with peace of mind and develop with confidence.
From a global talent 'selection ground' to an Asia-Pacific 'talent hub', Hainan still has a long way to go. But from the moment the first batch of foreign talents successfully obtained their certificates on the first day of the closure, we have already seen a clear direction and firm steps. It is believed that with the continuous release of policy dividends, the ongoing stimulation of industrial vitality, and the constant improvement of service levels, Hainan in 2035 will undoubtedly become an international talent hub in the Asia-Pacific region, rich in talent and innovation, writing an even more exciting chapter for China's high-level opening up.
