HAIC is proud to co-host the International Pitch of the 16th National College Students' E-Commerce "Innovation, Creativity and Entrepreneurship" Challenge, in collaboration with the Hainan Lingshui Li'an International Education Innovation Pilot Zone and Hainan University. 

As the organizing institution for the International Division, the college plays a central role in the overall design and academic oversight of the competition. Professor Zhang Xianfeng, Director of the E-Commerce (Sino-foreign Cooperative Education) Program, serves as Chair of the Expert Panel. Working alongside distinguished scholars from leading universities across China, she has contributed to shaping the competition framework, establishing evaluation standards, and forming an international judging committee to ensure academic rigor and professional excellence.

Taking advantage of the dynamic development and policy innovation of the Hainan Free Trade Port, the International Pitch final competition will be held in Lingshui, Hainan, during July 10 to August 10, 2026. Designed as a global platform, the International Pitch brings together university students from around the world to showcase entrepreneurial vision, creative solutions, and cutting-edge e-commerce innovations.

By co-hosting this International Pitch, HAIC will further strengthen its commitment to global engagement and innovation-driven education. The initiative reflects our strategic focus on deepening Sino-foreign cooperative education, advancing industry–academia collaboration, and cultivating globally competitive talent prepared to thrive in the digital economy.
