Foshan: Foreign talent, advanced products

Transformation for famed Pearl River Delta manufacturing hub

During an overseas business trip two weeks ago, the strong investment promotion team from the Foshan Bureau of Commerce surprised their hosts in the United States, including a senior executive at IT giant Oracle and a Stanford law lecturer.

The US hosts were impressed when Nicolas Santo, a 27-year-old Uruguayan, presented his business card with the title of the manager of the bureau's international investment promotion team.
