On October 29, the first "Beijing International Talent Service Center" was officially inaugurated in the Beijing Economic-Technological Development Area (E-Town). Integrating advanced artificial intelligence technologies, the center offers a smart service system that combines online and offline channels, providing one-stop, fully-integrated services for nearly 100 government, public utility, and daily life matters.
 
Let's take a look at some of the highlights of the new service center:

•    One-stop services for international talent: Here you can efficiently take care of government matters such as work permits, visas, and professional licenses, as well as access services related to children's education, taxation, and legal affairs, along with everyday needs such as renting accommodation and domestic services.

•    Upgraded services for local talent: Support for talent recruitment, points-based household registration, work permit and residence permit applications, as well as innovation and entrepreneurship services, such as commercialization of scientific and research findings, and business incubation.

•    Here you can get the "Join in Card" (聚英卡) for all-in-one city services: With this card, you can access a range of basic services, including social security, medical settlement, transportation, cultural tourism, and financial payments, making working and living in China even more convenient.

The center is also filled with interactive tech elements: Smart AR glasses provide real-time translation; the digital assistant "Xiaoyi Digital Human" offers friendly guidance; document delivery robots zip around transferring materials; and smart beverage machines serve drinks to waiting customers... 
One foreign visitor commented: "I've always found procedures in Beijing convenient, and that feeling carries over in this service hall. The smart AR glasses can translate over 100 languages, saving a great deal of communication time."

From cross-border consultation to multilingual support, from seamless processing to intelligent progress tracking, the service center sends a clear signal to global talent: Beijing is not only an innovation hub, but also a welcoming place where talent can settle down with peace of mind.
