Chongqing High-Tech Industrial Development Zone signed a cooperation agreement with Peking University to build Peking University Chongqing Big Data Research Institute in Western (Chongqing) Science City at the 2020 Chongqing Talents Conference on November 21. As a high-end research and development institution, Peking University Chongqing Big Data Research Institute will pool and cultivate scientific and technological innovation professionals and carry out cutting-edge innovation research in Western (Chongqing) Science City.

Under this background, Zhang Pingwen, Member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Vice President of Peking University, talks about the great importance of the strategic cooperation agreement and discusses the future development of Chongqing Western Science City.

In response to Chongqing's insufficient talented professionals in the big data arena, Zhang said the talent conference's most significant role is to show that our government is very supportive of talents to work and start businesses here to show the world many incentive policies in Chongqing. 

He also mentioned Peking University should be the most suitable place for China to attract the world's leading scholars and experts. This is why the Chongqing Municipal Government is willing to cooperate with Peking University to establish a platform like the Chongqing Big Data Research Institute of Peking University, and then use some influential scholars from Peking University to help Chongqing attract talents.
