The International Talent Co-founder Program (ITCP) was launched in Beijing’s Chaoyang district on Nov 4, aiming to empower foreign innovators to start and grow their businesses in China.
The program, initiated at the Wangjing Overseas Students Pioneer Park, brings together government agencies, universities, and enterprises to offer targeted support for overseas entrepreneurs. It aims to address common challenges such as unfamiliarity with local policies and difficulties in accessing business resources.
At the same event, the International Student Entrepreneurship Development Center was established in collaboration with several universities, with the goal of identifying and cultivating high-potential foreign entrepreneurial talent from the outset.
Saudi Arabian entrepreneur Faisal Omar Alzubaidi said，"Today’s event was truly exciting, unique, and refreshing. It’s been a long time since I’ve felt so focused and inspired."
Hassan Gulfraz, a student from Pakistan, expressed his expectations for the ITCP program，saying "Is it difficult to start a business in China? Are there policies we don't know about? I hope this program can offer more knowledge and guidance about entrepreneurship."
Meanwhile, the Startup Alliance (SA) — led by outstanding foreign entrepreneur Wahed Ahmadzai from Afghanistan — was officially inaugurated. The alliance has appointed successful entrepreneurs from countries such as France and Germany as mentors to provide guidance and support for emerging foreign startups.
Several new initiatives were also unveiled, including the Upgraded International One-Stop Service Center, and the "Chaoyang Youth Innovation 15 Measures" These efforts aim to bridge information gaps for foreign entrepreneurs in China and accelerate their business growth.
Going forward, Chaoyang district will continue to enhance and expand the program, striving to build itself into a benchmark for foreign entrepreneurship and a preferred destination for global talent.
