Member corporations of China-Africa Bridge such as Nice Group, DAS Solar, youxiake exchanged views on economic and cultural cooperation between China and Africa, as well as the entrepreneurship and development of young people with more than 40 African young people from Nigeria, South Africa, Kenya, Angola, Ethiopia, Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda, and other African countries. 


Zhao Haoxing, founder of China-Africa Bridge delivered opening remarks, in which he mentioned his sincere gratitude towards all member corporations and partners for their strong support. In his speech, Zhao said that China-Africa Bridge will adhere to the two missions of "Building a Service Bridge for Trade between China and Africa" and "Building a Platform for Young Entrepreneurs between China and Africa", and to help more Zhejiang brands to go to Africa and let more African young people realize their dreams. 


Ying Ying, general manager of China-Africa Bridge and Yi Jianan, vice general manager of China-Africa Bridge, as well as Xu Keda, director of LOFICA, shared their views and experiences on the macro-economic scenario and trade policies between China and Africa, cross-border e-commerce between China and Africa, and put forward new ideas and new opportunities for economic and trade cooperation between the two regions. 


Zhou Yibin, general manager of the overseas business development center of Nice Group said that he looked forward to working with young Africans to discover, seize, and create more opportunities. International entrepreneurs such as Brett and Eric shared their stories of entrepreneurship, hoping to help more young people to realize their dreams. 


In an interview with "In Zhejiang", the young entrepreneur Eric said that he felt very inspiring for initiating services and projects on improving the relationship between China and Africa. As a young African, he hopes to make more contributions to the cultural and economic communication on both sides. 


The guests all shared a similar view that the economic and trade cooperation between China and Africa both meets their respective economic structures and enjoys high complementarity and huge potential.
