These competition events were set up in line with the city's development strategies and plans on sectors such as key industries, new skills and trends, construction of the modernized industrial system, as well as the layout on digital economy. Nearly 1,000 contestants coming from companies, associations and schools across the city, are showcasing themselves in the competition.

Winners of the competition will have the chance to represent Shanghai to compete in the national skills competition scheduled in September in Zhengzhou, Henan province, and the opportunity to further strive to represent China in the 48th WorldSkills Competition in Shanghai next year, according to the organizer.
