Started in 2014, the competition has received 5,000 project applications, attracted more than 30,000 applicants, created more than 11,000 jobs, and offered a prize money of 12 million CNY.

The “Qingchunyun Xiaoxiang” platform aims to help aspiring young people start up business in their hometowns based on the technical, resource, and brand advantages of the digital countryside cloud platform. The young people may make contributions to poverty alleviation and rural vitalization.
