President Xie Jihua introduced the current major development opportunities for Shanghai in the new era, as well as the future international development strategy of the Eastern Center. The three new major tasks given to Shanghai by General Secretary Xi Jinping are major development opportunities for Shanghai, including the integrated development of the Yangtze River Delta, the establishment of the Science and Technology Board and the construction of the new Lingang area. Among them, the new Lingang District will be a major attraction for both domestic and foreign markets, and will become a global innovation collaboration base, a meeting point for both onshore and offshore markets, and a special economic function zone with more influence and competitiveness in the international market. On the basis of the integration and coordination of domestic and foreign resources by the International Channel Department, Shanghai International Technology Exchange Market (SITEM) has been established to provide an integrated two-wing layout, with office space in the new Lingang District and Hongqiao Business District to engage in international technology trade.
