Embracing All Rivers: Shanghai’s New Talent Policy Builds an Innovation Ecosystem

Shanghai attaches great importance to the development of key industries such as artificial intelligence and has established a systematic talent support policy framework. The "Implementation Measures for Special Awards for Talents in Key Industrial Sectors of Shanghai" explicitly includes artificial intelligence among the eight key areas of priority support, increases the proportion of award quotas for relevant enterprises, and provides special rewards for talents in critical positions.
Building on this foundation, Shanghai has introduced the “12 Measures for Artificial Intelligence,” offering 600 million yuan in computing power vouchers, 300 million yuan in model vouchers, and 100 million yuan in corpus vouchers. These financial subsidies are designed to reduce innovation costs for businesses. Moreover, the “Implementation Plan for Shaping Shanghai into a Global AI Hub” explicitly targets the goal of establishing a world-class AI industry cluster, with comprehensive planning covering everything from the computing power infrastructure and corpus systems to scenario-based applications, thereby providing ample career opportunities for talented individuals. In addition, specialized training subsidies aimed at fostering AI-skilled professionals have created a full-chain support system—from attracting talent, nurturing talent, deploying talent, to retaining talent—making Shanghai a dream destination for tech talent worldwide.

 

Talent First: SIXUNITED Dives Deep into the Rich Soil of Talent Development

As a technology enterprise rooted in Shanghai and with global reach, SIXUNITED has placed talent strategy at the heart of its operations since its inception in 2007. Since its formal establishment in 2015, the company has continued to deepen its mechanisms for cultivating and attracting talent. The company is deeply engaged in the entire industrial chain—from smart software and hardware R&D and design to manufacturing and operational services. Its product portfolio covers a wide range of smart terminals, including laptops, tablets, all-in-one computers, Mini PCs, servers, and IoT devices. Moreover, its business has expanded into diversified smart application scenarios such as supercomputing servers, digital healthcare, and smart transportation. These strategic business deployments provide talent with a cross-disciplinary, high-dimensional platform for innovative practice.


In 2024, SIXUNITED successfully made it onto the first batch of pilot companies selected for Intel’s forward-looking “AI Acceleration Program,” thanks to its robust talent pool and deep technological expertise in the AI field. Taking this milestone as an important opportunity, the company has further focused on the core needs of the AI sector and stepped up its efforts to attract and gather specialized software and hardware professionals in the AI domain. Relying on the technical prowess of its highly qualified team, SIXUNITED not only smoothly completed the development of its entire AI PC product line but also successfully created AI-powered assistant tools and the EAM enterprise intelligent agent management platform—representing a virtuous cycle of “talent attraction and development—technological R&D—product implementation.” This not only highlights the pivotal role of talent in driving industrial innovation but also provides talented individuals with a premier platform for collaborative innovation alongside industry giants.

The company currently has nearly 3,000 employees, among whom nearly 60% are R&D personnel. We have established a comprehensive talent system covering the entire value chain—from R&D and design to production and manufacturing, and from operations to service. SIXUNITED not only offers competitive compensation and benefits as well as broad career development opportunities, but also places great emphasis on fostering an innovative culture characterized by openness, collaboration, and encouragement of trial and error, thereby supporting our talents in boldly exploring the cutting edge of technology. SIXUNITED has set up a “dual-track” career development system, with separate promotion paths for technical and management roles. Guided by the philosophy of "retaining talent through career prospects, nurturing talent through platforms, and motivating talent through mechanisms," SIXUNITED has become a fertile ground for talent growth and laid a solid foundation for the recent recognition of seven individuals.
