The second in-person stage of the Russia-China Youth Business Accelerator was held in Nanjing and Yancheng (Jiangsu Province, China). Twelve participants from Russia took part in an intensive business program, visiting leading Chinese enterprises and reaching agreements with international partners to launch joint business projects. Agreements were signed in the fields of education and science, medicine, food production, alternative energy (including wind farm construction), as well as the supply and production of high-tech equipment.

A permanent office for the business accelerator was opened in Yancheng. An agreement was reached between Ulyanovsk State University and two Chinese universities — Nanjing Polytechnic Institute and Nanjing University of Information Science and Technology — to implement joint educational and youth programs. The business accelerator will continue its work next year.
