Over 20 foreign experts from Shanghai universities, including Shanghai University of Finance and Economics, Shanghai University, and New York University Shanghai, joined a cultural experience event in Baoshan district on Jan 22.

Participants visited the Shanghai No 1 Iron and Steel Plant, once the largest steel factory in East China and now a symbol of urban renewal.

At the China Baowu Steel Conference and Convention Center, they explored a "time tunnel" installation, watched a science-focused short film, and learned about the evolution of Shanghai's steel industry.

The group also explored the Shanghai Ceramic S&T Art Museum, where interactive exhibits showcased the rich artistry of traditional Chinese ceramics. They participated in a hands-on workshop to craft pottery and painted lanterns, feeling the atmosphere of the upcoming Spring Festival.

At the workshop, a policy consultation booth was set up to provide service guides in English, offering detailed information about its talent-friendly ecosystem.

In recent years, Baoshan has launched initiatives such as innovation competitions, talent-focused events, and networking platforms to attract global professionals.
