Hangzhou Municipal Human Resources & Social Security Bureau

Supports Hangzhou talent policy by enabling workforce development, employment services, and overseas talent attraction programs.

The Hangzhou Municipal Human Resources & Social Security Bureau is the city-level talent and employment authority for Hangzhou in Zhejiang. It sits inside the municipal government and focuses on talent attraction, workforce development, and employment policy, with a strong public role in overseas recruitment and settlement support.

Its main channels are the Qiantang Talent Program, the Hangzhou Overseas High-Level Talent Innovation & Entrepreneurship Competition, the Hangzhou High-Level Talent Classification & Subsidy Scheme, the Hangzhou 131 Middle-Aged & Young Talent Plan, and the Hangzhou 115 Overseas Intelligence Introduction Program. The portfolio reaches artificial intelligence infrastructure, biotech, semiconductors, manufacturing, materials, medtech, robotics, and aerospace, with awards spanning from CNY 10,000 prizes to CNY 100 million talent packages.

The flagship competition targets overseas returnees and non-ethnic-Chinese foreign nationals with a master's degree or higher, under 50, and relevant innovation or entrepreneurship experience. Recent calls pair cash prizes with post-registration support in Hangzhou, including landing grants from CNY 500,000 to CNY 5,000,000, so the bureau works as both a talent filter and a settlement channel.
