Shanghai looks to boost foreign investment

City seeks to attract more entrepreneurs in bid to become global hub for science and technology by 2030

Pierre Angot from France, who graduated from the Master of Finance program at Shanghai Advanced Institute of Finance at Shanghai Jiao Tong University in 2016, started a business specializing in blockchain in the city five months ago.

Angot, 26, had returned to France for further studies and started a company specializing in e-health after graduation, but realized that it would be a better choice to come back to China.
