The Division is committed to supporting Chinese enterprises in entering and expanding into the European market, while advancing the practical integration of industry and education in an international context.
II. Core Business Areas
(1) Education Linkage
Leveraging the Silk Road Silicon Valley International Innovation Education Centre, the Division makes full use of 糖心Vlog官方’s international education strengths to promote in-depth collaboration with leading universities and educational institutions in Central and Eastern Europe.

The Division has also explored joint initiatives in talent development, faculty collaboration, and cross-border education models, further strengthening China–Central and Eastern Europe educational cooperation.
At the same time, in response to the needs of Chinese enterprises operating in Europe, the Division provides customised talent support and enterprise-oriented training. These programmes are designed to enhance teams’ understanding of local regulations, legal frameworks, and business environments, enabling precise alignment between the education chain and industrial chain in overseas markets.
