(SeaPRwire) – SHENYANG, China, May 27, 2026 — The launch ceremony for the inaugural national 100+ University Student Local Tour (Shenyang) and the 2026 “PhDs in Shenyang” event took place on May 21 at the Global Industrial Internet Conference Center in Shenyang.
During the ceremony, event organizers revealed new job vacancies, listened to addresses by doctoral representatives, and introduced the 2026 Liaoning Academic Exchange Program for Overseas Scholars. The “Talent in Shenyang” Doctoral Innovation and Entrepreneurship Forum ran concurrently with the main event. Focusing on Shenyang’s “3+4+3” key industrial cluster strategy, the function invited doctoral students and young innovation teams from institutions such as Tsinghua University to present in roadshows. Attendees from venture capital firms, investment and financing agencies, startup incubators, neighboring metropolitan cities, and regional science and technology departments assembled to enable focused matchmaking between doctoral talent, innovative projects, investors, and incubators, allowing high-quality projects to establish and thrive in Shenyang.
Spanning three days, the itinerary offers seven meticulously planned tour routes and two urban experience locations. Participants toured cultural landmarks like the Shenyang Imperial Palace and the Former Residence of Zhang Xueliang to witness the city’s extensive historical and cultural background. They also visited key sites, including Northeastern University, Hunnan Science and Technology City, and Shengu Group, to obtain direct understanding of Shenyang’s innovation landscape and industrial development potential.
The “PhDs in Shenyang” initiative serves as a primary talent recruitment program jointly developed by the Talent Work Leadership Group of the CPC Liaoning Provincial Committee and the Shenyang Municipal People’s Government. Since starting in 2023, the program has brought in over 16,000 doctoral graduates from China and overseas to tour Shenyang and Liaoning, with more than 4,000 deciding to pursue their careers in the city. In 2025 specifically, over 1,600 doctoral graduates found jobs or founded businesses in Shenyang. Directed by the Ministry of Education, this year’s event moves forward the nation’s first “100+ University Student Local Tour” in tandem with “PhDs in Shenyang,” merging a national talent recruitment platform with a unique local brand to consolidate talent. The program encompasses a broad spectrum of activities, including specialized recruitment fairs, exchanges for overseas scholars, innovation project roadshows, industrial research tours, and city experiences. Moreover, it has widened its reach from doctoral roles to include opportunities for master’s and undergraduate students. There are 16,000 premium positions available in total, with 7,356 designated for PhD graduates. Corporate positions make up 53.2% of all openings, marking a 16.7% year-over-year rise. A significant volume of positions in emerging industries was offered, appealing to more than 11,000 applicants.
