By leveraging the Shanghai-Nanjing Industrial Innovation Belt, which involves the Putuo district and eight cities in East China's Jiangsu province, Putuo aims to efficiently connect the Yangtze River Delta's innovative resources, and focus on modern industries like bulk trade to synchronize talent structure and industrial growth, Zhao said.
