Users will be able to go through every stage of creating a startup – from developing an idea and testing hypotheses to vibe coding, building a prototype with GigaStudio, and preparing a pitch deck for investors. Each step can be adapted to the user’s experience and needs. Successful creators will receive certificates from participating universities, including the School of Management at Fudan University.

Lu Xiongwen, secretary of the Communist Party committee and honorary dean of the School of Management at Fudan University, said education connects us with the future, while cooperation drives innovation.

“Today, together with Sberbank, we are working on a project for specialized courses that integrates China’s practical experience in science and technology innovation into the curricula. This will help train a new generation of Russian professionals in this field and contribute to cooperation and collaboration between China and Russia in innovation. We see this project as a starting point and intend to continue supporting innovation-driven development in the countries along the Belt and Road,” he said.
