The two thematic lectures, “Critical Thinking and Decision-Making for Leaders” and “How Innovation Drives Economic Growth: Big Data and Technological Innovation,” provided students with leadership skills required in the context of globalized business development and trends in technological innovation, sparking their interest in innovative thinking and its practical application. Outside the classroom, the students also visited the SKL-IOTSC to learn about cutting-edge technological equipment and research projects.

It is located in Hangzhou, a renowned historical and cultural city as well as a scenic tourist destination in China. ZJUT was founded in 1953, with its origins dating back to the Zhejiang Intermediate School of Technology established in 1910. Over the years, it has developed through several stages, including Hangzhou Chemical Engineering School, Zhejiang Chemical College, Zhejiang University of Chemical Engineering College, and Zhejiang Engineering College, eventually being renamed Zhejiang University of Technology in 1993.

To strengthen cooperation between UM and universities in mainland, CCE and BRTC are continuing to provide qualified training programs for college students in the future.
