President Chen warmly welcomed all the enterprise representatives, saying: “Talents are the key to the sustainable development of enterprises, while high-level faculty members are the key to fostering talents at universities. Currently, SUSTech has a strong faculty team and a group of competitive students, who can contribute to your enterprises in the near future. I hope there will be more collaborations between SUSTech and your businesses, especially in setting up companies’ internship programs and entrepreneurship centers on campus.”
