The fourth Binzhou Talent Festival with the theme of "Win with Talent" has 
recently been held in Binzhou City of Shandong, China. The talent festival this 
year focused on building a highland for talents at the Yellow River Basin and a 
youth-friendly city. Under the guiding thought of "based in Binzhou, connecting 
nationwide, and facing the world", the festival set up a main venue in Binzhou, 
with branch venues in Beijing, Shanghai, Suzhou, and Shenzhen, as well as 
special sessions in 10 cities, counties, and districts. Over the course of 
three days, 111 activities were held to create a new ecosystem of mutual growth 
and development in the "City of Industry and Talent". The festival centered 
around the idea of "accomplishing the talented people's dreams and the city's 
future", showcasing Binzhou's desire for and respect towards talent as a "wise 
city" through the involvement and interaction of talents, according to the 
Information Office of Binzhou Municipal People's Government.

To attract more outstanding talents to Binzhou for innovation and 
entrepreneurship, the city has taken the lead in establishing the Binzhou 
Talent Festival since 2020. This exclusive festival for talents is held once a 
year and features a series of diverse and vibrant talent-related activities. To 
date, three editions of the festival have been successfully held, with a total 
of 238 activities organized in collaboration with cities and counties. These 
activities have attracted over 20,000 participants and facilitated the signing 
of more than 150 projects on-site, generating a significant impact both within 
and outside Shandong Province. Over the past three years, the Binzhou Talent 
Festival has gained recognition as a well-known talent event in Shandong, with 
the slogan "Win with Talent" serving as a distinct brand that symbolizes 
Binzhou's talent development.
