This symposium deals with the mechanism of entrepreneurial innovation and development in the new era as well as the mode of high-quality development, which can bring enlightenment to Zhejiang businessmen,” HUANG Zhengqiang pointed out.

“Zhejiang University has actively explored a novel approach to innovation-driven entrepreneurship education, and created a golden brand for innovation and entrepreneurship with its own characteristics. In the future, it will also continue to adhere to the spirit of Zhejiang, work assiduously and creatively, and promote the construction of a world-class university with Chinese characteristics,” said WU Xiaocheng.
