The second China-Europe Talent Forum was jointly hosted in Zurich, Switzerland to explore a new model for companies to “bring, buy or build” talent as they expand internationally. Co-hosted by the Chinese Embassy in Switzerland and the Swiss Adecco Group, the forum brought together more than 180 participants from firms, academic institutions, international organizations and government agencies. Geng Wenbing, Chinese ambassador to Switzerland, said that China and Europe together hold a “treasure bowl” of the world’s best talent, but each side has their own strengths in the talent field. Geng noted that China has a large amount of skilled talent, while Europe boasts innovative and entrepreneurial talent. The complementary advantages that follow are obvious, and the potential for exchange and cooperation is huge. Geng said that China is happy to see local talent go international, and is willing to recruit talent from all over the world to participate in China’s construction and development. The forum, he said, intends to open up exchange channels between Chinese and European companies, schools and government departments.
