Cross-Strait youth entrepreneurship was another key focus. Organizers announced the upcoming Top Chinese Livestream Host Youth E-commerce Exchange Conference, set to take place in Yiwu from June 21 to 25.

During the cooperation week, a series of events covering artificial intelligence, cultural tourism and industrial collaboration will also be held across Zhejiang.
