三州华美化学会欢迎吴江市招商团赴新州网罗人才

2011年4月1日周五晚，三州华美化学会（Tri-State Chinese-American Chemical Society）在位于新泽西的KC海鲜城举行欢迎宴会，热烈欢迎苏州吴江市招 商团的来访。当天参加欢迎晚宴的有90多人，其中包括吴江市副市长徐晓枫、吴江市招商 局局长赵菊观、三州华美化学会会长李方飙等。欢迎宴会首先由李方飙会长致欢迎辞，并扼 要地介绍了华美化学会。

吴江经济发达、社会安康，GDP位列中国县（市）百强第五位。此次为吸引海外高层次人才来吴江创业、工作，应美国华美化学会的邀请，吴江市特组团赴新泽西进行宣传和招商。晚宴中，苏州莱克施德药业有限公司总经理兼技术总监俞菊荣博士介绍了吴江市招商局诸成员；紧接着招商局长赵菊观详细介绍了吴江的地理位置、城市规划 （迈入“地铁时代”）、九大产业和为引进海外高层次人才的各项优惠扶持政策。

吴江招商 团这次美国之行主要集中在两地：加州的硅谷（Silicon Valley）和新泽西州。硅谷的 IT 行业和新州的生物制药行业两大亮点，极大地吸引了吴江市政府的眼球。美国的主要大制药厂集中在新州，所以要网罗生物制药方面的人才，新州是首选之地。吴江市毗邻上海，而上海作为中国经济最发达的大城市、投资创业的首选，吴江又拥有怎样独特的优势来吸引海归的人才呢？

徐晓枫市长讲道：“吴江与上海地域接壤，距离上海虹桥机场只有30分钟的车程，交通非常便利。我们讲求'同镇效应'，相信上海快速的经济发展势头会波及吴江。 ”徐市长又风趣地补充到，“我感觉啊，吴江与上海的关系类似于新泽西与纽约的关系。我 们吴江的各项配套设施比上海并不落后，可是生存成本和经营成本比上海可是低了不少呀！ 吴江现在经济比较发达，我们市政府有迫切的愿望网罗海外优秀人才回吴江投资、创业，政 府会创造各种有利条件，提供更好的工作和生活保障。 ” 讲到这里，徐市长颇为动容：“我们衷心祝愿新泽西州的华侨生活幸福，更希望大家到吴江来走走看看。吴江不但是经济发展 的城市，还是旅游城市，更是文化城市。现在中美作为世界第一大和第二大经济体，经济交往越来越密切。欢迎各位来吴江发展事业、安家定居。

今后，华美化学会将举办更多类似的介绍会，让我们的会员及华人了解国内的发展及机会。 同时再次对各位会员对此次欢迎宴会的积极参与和支持表示感谢。
