LONDON, April 27 (Xinhua) -- With more than 2,000 job opportunities, over 100 Chinese and British companies joined a high level talent fair here on Saturday.

The 2019 UK-China High-level Talent Fair, held in downtown London, was crowded with overseas Chinese students and scholars from prestigious universities in the UK, as well as talents from France, Germany, Italy and other countries.

Companies, research institutes and universities came from over 20 Chinese provinces and municipalities, including Beijing, Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Guangdong, Shandong, Hunan and Fujian.

According to the fair's organizer UK China Talent Development Association, demands for talents mainly concentrate on the emerging fields, in particular, education, artificial intelligence, cloud computing, biomedical and new energy.

This year's fair features a substantially increased proportion of Chinese enterprises based in the UK and British enterprises, as companies such as Bank of China (UK) Limited, China Certification & Inspection London Company Limited and Huawei reached out to applicants with competitive positions.

Liu Xiaoming, the Chinese ambassador to Britain, said in a congratulatory message that the talent fair, in its second year, would continue broadening communication channels for Chinese and British talents, so as to attract these brightest minds to China.

The fair also saw a round table discussion on innovation, entrepreneurship and education, attended by scholars and enterprise managers from Britain and China.

The talent fair was supported by the Chinese Embassy in Britain and the Chinese Service Center for Scholarly Exchange.
