The 4th Global Layout Program for Young Entrepreneurs, hosted by China International Youth Exchange Center (CIYEC), was held from Nov 4 to 7 in Beijing and Nanchang, capital of East China's Jiangxi Province. Nearly 30 young entrepreneurs from sectors including artificial intelligence, digital economy, green energy, intelligent manufacturing and cross-border trade took part.

This program adopted an interactive teaching model between Beijing and Nanchang, incorporating a blend of instructional methods like specialized lectures, roundtable seminars, case-based learning and field surveys.

Among the faculty were experts and scholars from institutions including the Center for International Economic and Technological Cooperation of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO), the University of International Business and Economics, the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Serbia and the China Certified Tax Agents Association.

Lectures centered on pressing issues such as the global trade climate, opportunities in regional markets, trade compliance practices and sustainable development cooperation. The initiative aimed to equip young entrepreneurs with a broader international perspective, strengthen their competencies in managing cross-border operations and provide in-depth analysis of practical issues of high concern to enterprises like compliance and tax-related risks in international business.

In addition to the classroom sessions, participants also conducted on-site visits and exchanges at the Embassy of Uzbekistan in China, the Kazakhstan Cultural Center in Beijing, a Xiaomi automobile factory and Beijing Institute of Technology Huahui Intelligent Technology Co Ltd. These visits offered direct insights into the latest technological advancements and the structure of pertinent industrial ecosystems.

Participants in the program said it was substantial in content and diverse in format, integrating systematic courses on global strategic layout with a series of high-quality international exchange activities. Through four days of intensive learning and in-depth interaction, they not only broadened their global perspective and acquired practical strategies for cross-border operations, but also built partnerships and accumulated valuable resources for international collaboration.

Taking this program as a new starting point, they said they will fully leverage the platform advantages of CIYEC and the international cooperation network established during this program to continuously explore new pathways and opportunities for their companies' global expansion.

The Global Layout Program for Young Entrepreneurs is a practical and innovative platform established by CIYEC to support the global development of young entrepreneurs. Four sessions have been held so far with remarkable outcomes.

This latest session was hosted by the School of Foreign Languages, Jiangxi University of Finance and Economics, and co-organized by the Jiangxi Yinghao Furui Education Group.
