The China-ASEAN Young Entrepreneurs Innovation Camp opened on Oct 31 in Hangzhou's Shinning City Industrial Park, bringing together nearly 30 young entrepreneurs from 10 ASEAN countries and representatives from over 40 leading Chinese enterprises.

The event, held alongside the 5th Global Digital Trade Expo promotion session, aims to foster cross-border collaboration, business incubation, and innovation among China and ASEAN youth.

"The ASEAN entrepreneurs come from sectors like agriculture, trade, and technology, and many are particularly interested in Hangzhou's booming cross-border e-commerce and AI industries," said Jin Yuemin, deputy general manager of Shinning City. "As a digital trade hub, our park provides full-chain services from resource connection to project incubation and market expansion."

The event also showcased youth innovation projects from Cambodia, Brunei, and China, highlighting shared entrepreneurial energy and global vision across the region.
