In 1988, 75 Nobel laureates gathered in Paris. Dr. Hannes Alfvén, a Swedish scientist and Nobel Prize winner in Physics, pointed out: “If humanity is to survive, it must go back 25 centuries to draw wisdom from Confucius.”

The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) has listed Confucius as the first among the “World’s Top Ten Cultural Figures.”

With the core focus on Confucian culture experience, Chinese civilization practice, international talent services, new-quality industrial incubation, and the demonstration of a charming China, we will take Qufu as a hub, connect cultural landmarks across multiple regions in Shandong, and build an immersive experience circle of Confucian culture. We aim to create an international talent cooperation brand and a cross-border cultural exchange platform between China and foreign countries. Over five years, we will attract 10,000 talents (including 1,000 foreign experts) from more than 30 countries to visit and explore Shandong, engage in study tours to follow the footsteps of sages. Centered on the theme “Confucian Culture and Modern Business,” this initiative drives high-quality industrial innovation and supports “dual recruitment and attraction” (recruiting top talent and attracting investment)
