The 6th Zhejiang College Student's Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition started at Yiwu Industrial and Commercial College on Aug 19, attracting 568 contestants from 67 countries and regions.

"My goal is to have my company registered within the year, build up my staff, and reach a turnover of five million yuan ($733,000) by 2023," said Mohamed Osama Mohamed Ragab, or Mu Xiaolong (Chinese name), from Egypt.

Mu's entry is an agency providing services for foreign entertainers in China. His team now has five members and their social media accounts have thousands of followers on video-sharing platforms Douyin and Kuaishou.

Mu said he learned a lot from both the judges and other competitors and will make adjustments accordingly to help more foreign entertainers succeed in China.
