Pudong New Area aims to boost its outsourcing industry by attracting 500 companies with 130,000 employees by the end of 2013.
By the end of last year, Pudong had 300-plus outsourcing companies with 70,000 employees.
Outsourcing is the process whereby a company takes a part of its business and hands it to another company specializing in that service, usually to cut costs. The company that receives the outsource contract is often located in another country with lower labor costs.
Pudong New Area plans to help three to five companies handling outsourced services in the district to go public in three years as the district.
Pudong's outsourcing industry scale accounted for 50 percent of the city's total and the area has set an ambitious goal to increase the percentage to 60 percent after the three-year campaign.
The area will announce a set of favorable policies to lure the outsourcing industry, according to Li Yuhong, an official with the Pudong New Area Commission of the Commerce.
Pudong's outsourcing industry has gained strong momentum this year as it attracted an offshore outsource service contract totaling US$737 million in the first nine months this year, a 68 percent increase over the same period last year.
Meanwhile, it has 51 key-industry outsourcing firms recognized by the city government and the area plans to increase the number to 80 by the end of 2013.
"We will tap the outsourcing business in new industries including cloud computing, the Internet of Things, and the culture innovation industry, apart from the traditional bio-chemical, software industries," Li sad.
