took the stage, showcasing how youth from China and Africa are using innovation 
to address real-world needs and sharing development opportunities through collaboration.
Following the presentations, guests presented awards to the winning project teams
and outstanding mentors.

During a roundtable discussion, representatives from the competition’s judging panel,
Jiangxi-based enterprises engaged with Africa, Chinese youth, and university career
guidance instructors shared insights under the theme "China-Africa Gen Z: Creating
New Opportunities for Digital Innovation and Youth Entrepreneurship." Drawing on
their respective experience, they discussed how young people from both regions can
harness digital technologies to deepen cooperation, foster innovation, and create
new entrepreneurial opportunities.

The awards ceremony marked the completion of the 2026 Gen-Z China-Africa Youth Entrepreneurship
Platform Series.

Looking ahead, an African youth representative Emmanuel Edward expressed hope that
the competition would continue to grow and provide an even stronger platform for
youth entrepreneurship between China and Africa. "I am proud to be part of this 
China-Africa youth journey," Emmanuel Edward said.

The year 2026 marks the China-Africa Year of People-to-People Exchanges. In January,
the Jiangxi China-Africa Youth Entrepreneurship Alliance was established in Nanchang,
alongside the launch of the Jiangxi China-Africa Gen-Z Youth Entrepreneurship Competition.
Since its launch, the competition has received 147 eligible entrepreneurial proposals,
with 56 percent submitted by teams composed of both Chinese and African youth.

After multiple rounds of evaluation, 16 high-quality projects advanced to the final.
Throughout the competition, participating teams received ongoing support. They refined
and improved their business plans based on the realities of both Chinese and African
markets, enhancing the feasibility and potential of their projects.

After systematic development and refinement, the selected projects advanced to the
final pitch. These projects addressed practical needs in China-Africa cooperation,
covering areas ranging from people’s livelihoods, such as healthcare and vocational
training, to industrial sectors including modern agriculture and mining. They combined
innovative thinking with strong potential for real-world application. Following 
intense competition, six projects won first, second, and third prizes, while 10 
projects received excellence awards.
