"Belt and Road Initiative" Innovation and Entrepreneurship Salon for International Students
On the morning of April 18, 2024, the "Belt and Road Initiative" International Student Innovation and Entrepreneurship Salon Activity hosted by Xi'an Silver Bullet Valley Maker Space kicked off in the conference room on the second floor of the space. The event aims to promote innovation and entrepreneurship exchanges among international students from countries along the "Belt and Road Initiative", expand international horizons, and enhance mutual understanding and cooperation.
This salon event was supported and participated by the Central Business District and Modern Commercial and Industrial Park, the Foreign Cooperation Bureau of Xi'an Chanba International Port, the Foreign Control Section of the Exit-Entry Management Detachment of Xi'an Public Security Bureau, and the Exit-Entry Management Section of the Baqiao Branch of the Public Security Bureau. Staff representatives from relevant departments attended the event and had face-to-face exchanges with the international students to understand each international student's personal study, living situation and career plan, and provided them with the interpretation and guidance of relevant policies such as company establishment, internship visa, work permit and permanent residence permit for foreign students on campus.
Representatives of foreign students from Chang'an University also actively participated in this salon. They came from different countries with rich cultural backgrounds and novel ideas for entrepreneurship. During the event, they shared their career plans for the future. Most of the international students expressed their desire to stay in China to set up personal companies and live in China for a long time/permanently after graduation. A small number of international students decided to return to China to do foreign import and export trade, introduce Chinese-made products to their own countries, and had in-depth exchanges on how to strengthen international cooperation in innovation and entrepreneurship.
The successful holding of this salon not only provided strong support for the innovation and entrepreneurship of the international students, but also played a positive role in promoting the innovation and entrepreneurship cooperation of the countries along the "Belt and Road Initiative". I believe that through such exchange activities, the innovation and entrepreneurship ability of the international students will be further enhanced, and make greater contributions to the friendly exchanges and common development between our country and other countries in the world.
