Shanghai has released 22 measures aimed at attracting creative talent from abroad and transforming the city into a global technological innovation center.

Beneficial policies, including providing permanent resident permits for high-level overseas talent and giving subsidies to high-tech professionals, are designed to open Shanghai's doors wider to the world.

High-level employees who have permanent jobs in Shanghai will get privileges such as quicker processing of their foreign expert permit and a loosening of the upper age restriction from 60 to 70 years old.
