The Greater Bay Area’s (GBA) first International Business Talent Service Center has opened in Qianhai, Shenzhen, offering a dedicated platform to support firms seeking to expand overseas and attract globally minded professionals, according to a press release.
Unveiled on 22 November, the centre forms part of the Shenzhen International Business e-Station and is designed to serve as a connector for GBA enterprises, local talent and international opportunities. According to organisers, the launch event connected more than 1,500 foreign professionals and young people from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan with 1,160 job opportunities offered by 41 leading companies pursuing global growth.
The recruitment drive drew enterprises in priority sectors such as tech innovation, supply chain management and advanced manufacturing. Participants included Tencent, Insta360, Laifen, SEAVO, Unilumin and semiconductor-focused RiVAI Technologies. Several Hong Kong firms, including Golden Fortune Group and Yunfeng Financial Group, also joined. RiVAI said it had already shortlisted more than 20 strong candidates and would advance immediately to interviews.

The Shenzhen International Business e-Station was named a pilot comprehensive service hub for Guangdong companies going global earlier this month, becoming the province’s first platform of its kind. It integrates 10 specialised service zones and more than 200 service providers, with nearly 25,000 registered users. Its international network now spans 44 overseas industrial parks across 32 countries and regions, covering Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Eastern Europe and North Africa.
The newly opened talent centre offers integrated services covering employment, training and resource matching. At the launch, it issued a Go-Global Talent Service Map and unveiled 50 talent service packages to help enterprises access tailored, professional support.
Foreign students attending the event said the opportunities on offer underscored the GBA’s commitment to cultivating a diversity of talent. Houda, from Morocco and studying in Shenzhen, said companies present were able to “[clearly] articulate their needs for international talent” and appeared to value cross-cultural capability.
