“刚开始创业时，我完全一无所知。他带我去过许多地方观察学习，甚至帮我找到了商业合作伙伴。这帮助极大，”来自加纳的企业家阿米萨·理查德·弗兰克说道，他目前居住并工作在中国南部海南省省会海口市。
他所指的人是皮金玉，他是海口国际人才社区的运营总监，该社区于2021年正式开放。在人才社区的支持下，弗兰克的贸易公司仅用一年时间便实现了快速成长。
海南自由贸易港（FTP）建设的大力推进，正吸引越来越多的国际专业人士前往海南实现职业理想。
截至今年，该人才社区已迎来超过500名国际专业人士，举办了五场孵化培训课程，通过其孵化项目支持了200多人，并帮助外国企业家创办了近50家企业。
"When I first started, I knew nothing at all. He took me to many places to observe and learn, and even helped me find business partners. It was incredibly helpful," said Amissah Richard Frank, an entrepreneur from Ghana who now lives and works in Haikou, the capital of south China's Hainan Province.
The person he was referring to is Pi Jinyu, the operating director of Haikou International Talent Community, which opened in 2021. With support from the talent community, Frank's trading company grew rapidly within just a year.
The vigorous push to build the Hainan Free Trade Port (FTP) is attracting an increasing number of international professionals to Hainan to pursue their dreams.
As of this year, the talent community has welcomed over 500 international professionals, held five incubation training sessions, supported more than 200 individuals through its incubation programs, and helped foreign entrepreneurs launch nearly 50 businesses.

“我的祖籍地是海南省文昌市，能够回馈家乡的年轻人让我倍感荣幸。海南FTP的未来取决于年轻一代；掌握外语并培养全球视野对他们至关重要。我将竭尽所能支持他们，助力FTP蓬勃发展。”他说道。
海口国际人才社区于2024年8月成立了海口国际人才志愿者服务团队，迄今已吸引65名外籍志愿者参与，并组织了包括政策宣讲、社区服务、文化交流活动及活动支持在内的80余项活动，惠及来自各行各业的3000余人。
"My ancestral home is Wenchang city in Hainan, and it's an honor to give back to the young people in my hometown. The future of the Hainan FTP depends on the younger generation. It's essential for them to master foreign languages and develop a global perspective. I am eager to do whatever I can to support them and help the FTP thrive," he said.
Haikou International Talent Community launched its Haikou International Talent Volunteer Service Team in August 2024, which has since attracted 65 foreign volunteers and organized over 80 activities, including policy briefings, community services, cultural exchange events and event support, benefiting more than 3,000 people from all walks of life.
