The diamond cherry blossom card, issued by the Baoshan District government.
Baoshan District has released the first batch of “cherry blossom cards,” talent cards that offer preferential services to its top professionals.
Twenty-two outstanding professionals who have made great contributions to the district’s development became the first group to receive the innovative card on Thursday.
The practice is part of Baoshan government’s efforts to better serve and allure high-end professionals while optimizing its business environment.
The talent card in electronic version is categorized into diamond, platinum, gold and silver levels based on the contributions of the talent.
Holders can enjoy over 30 kinds of preferential services in finance, scientific innovation, startup services, fitness, film watching, health and senior care. They can also use the VIP channel at the cruise liner terminal in Baoshan.
The district government departments will offer tailored and timely services to the scientists, for instance, who are dedicated to work and have no time to take care of their families, according to the district government. Registration, financial, training and counseling services will be offered mainly to outstanding entrepreneurs.
The gold and silver cards, which can be issued by subdistricts, townships and industrial parks, will mainly include life convenience such as public canteens, shuttle buses and after-school care for children.
