French students visit Grand neoBay

Students and faculty from Lyc茅e le Lik猫s, a high school in northwest France, explored the Grand neoBay in south Minhang District on October 29.

Grand neoBay was initially an innovation platform a stone鈥檚 throw from Shanghai Jiao Tong University鈥檚 Minhang Campus around Jianchuan and Cangyuan roads.

It later became a burgeoning sci-tech innovation park, a magnet for startups for students, alumni and teachers from the university.

A blueprint for Grand neoBay was released in 2019, with the aim of building a world-leading innovation community on par with Silicon Valley and Zhongguancun in Beijing.

The delegation from the school in Quimper in Brittany visited the neoBay Global Innovation and Entrepreneurship Community.

They observed an electrical take-off and landing model and robotic arms, and learned more about an ecosystem which favors the sustainable growth of science and technology-based startups.

鈥淚t鈥檚 interesting to see how it could be to work with another country for neoBay global innovation and entrepreneurship,鈥 said French student Rose Carriere.

鈥淭he event is helpful to introduce the ecosystem of neoBay to overseas youngsters,鈥 said Xu Yang, manager of international cooperation of Shanghai neoBay Venture Capital Co.

Zhang Xin, a teacher of Chinese at the French school, which has around 300 students learning the language, said the trip had benefited from China鈥檚 visa free entry policy.

During their stop at the Shanghai university鈥檚 Paris Tech Elite Institute of Technology, the students demonstrated a flash mob dance they had rehearsed in their spare time during the trip as a delightful and friendly salute to China.
