A China-Russia young entrepreneurs forum was held at Seed Cafe on the 23rd floor of BSC Plaza to build cross-border exchange between young founders from the two countries, broaden their horizons and support their growth. Representatives from both sides discussed innovation and entrepreneurship in a warm and lively atmosphere.
Before the forum began, the delegation of young Russian professionals and entrepreneurs toured the BSC Global Maker Incubator. They learned about its space planning, functional layout, operating model and end-to-end incubation services, and saw first hand how the incubator supports start-ups, empowers projects and brings resources together. The visit gave the delegation a clear and comprehensive picture of the incubator's scale, service system and track record.
After the tour, the two delegations sat down for in-depth discussions at Seed Cafe. The forum was organised in three parts: opening remarks from both sides, keynote presentations and themed discussions, each building on the last to give the young founders an efficient platform for exchanging experience and ideas. Participants from both countries spoke from their own experience, sharing lessons, comparing approaches and exploring opportunities, so that ideas and practical know-how flowed in both directions.
Senior entrepreneurs from both countries were invited to act as mentors. Hu Jian, chairman of BSC Holding, took part as the Chinese mentor and gave a keynote presentation. Drawing on his experience in industrial development and entrepreneurship, he spoke about business philosophy, growth paths, industrial innovation and company operations, offering practical and market-grounded guidance to the young founders in the room. The Russian mentor drew on local industry and start-up practice to share overseas innovation models and industry experience, adding an international perspective to the discussion.
In the open discussion, the young founders from both countries shared their start-up experiences, discussed hot topics, opportunities and challenges in innovation and entrepreneurship, and exchanged views on expanding and deepening cooperation. The candid conversation increased mutual understanding, enriched business models, broadened horizons and laid a good foundation for future cross-border cooperation, resource sharing and joint projects.
The forum concluded in a friendly atmosphere. Entrepreneurs on both sides came away with a deeper understanding of each other's development philosophy, business models and cooperation needs, and with a solid basis for closer cooperation. The incubator hopes the young entrepreneurs of both countries will use the forum as a starting point for continued communication and cooperation, to the benefit of their companies and of innovation and entrepreneurship in both countries.
