The opening ceremony of Start-up Services Platform & Practicing Base for Taiwan University Students in Shanghai was held in China (Shanghai) Public Practicing Base for Entrepreneurs on Aug. 11.
According to sources, the platform marks one of Yangpu District’s initiatives to leverage its “innovative and entrepreneurial” resources and encourage the society to support young Taiwan entrepreneurs. In next steps, the District will release favorable policies, including housing policies, based on Taiwan youth’s features and needs to resolve their actual obstacles when starting businesses and attract more Taiwan youth to the district and realize their value.
At the ceremony, officials from competent departments interpreted incoming favorable policies for young Taiwan entrepreneurs, including talent apartments and rental subsidies policies. According to sources, talent apartments and rental subsidies policies aim to resolve entrepreneurial and innovative talent’s difficulties in housing so that they could focus on developing start-ups. Recently, Guidance for Young Taiwan Entrepreneurs Applying for Talent Apartments in Yangpu District has been developed with the supervision and support of Shanghai’s Taiwan Affairs Office and Shanghai Housing & Urban-Rural Development Office, which will remove policy thresholds facing Taiwan youth when applying for talent apartments and rental subsidies.
