The Seminar aimed to provide a better understanding of the Chinese culture, economy and business world, so to create the best ambassadors between Chinese companies and the Israeli future generation of leadership. The participating students are devoted to expanding the business partnerships between Israeli and Chinese companies and arrived eager to learn.

In Beijing, the students spent a considerable time at Peking University, learning Chinese and engaging in culture-related classes and workshops, so to deepen their understanding of the Chinese culture.

Moreover, the students had the extraordinary chance to witness some of Beijing's top companies and to hear from executive VP's about the Chinese market. The students had numerous amazing opportunities, visiting Ofo, JD, Vanke, Shengjing, The Israeli Economic Attache, IronSource, Perfect World - just to name a few of the companies.

Students showed their personal initiative not only organizing the Seminar and coordinating with leading companies, but following up on those visits and pursuing further cooperations and job offers from some of the companies.

The Seminar was an outstanding success in this way, exposing the students to the vast world of the Chinese business world, representing the Hebrew University, enhancing their personal networks and giving them a sense of direction and a taste of the Asian world.
