Eighty six start-up projects will be presented to audiences at the Haicang innovation exhibition center in Haicang district, Xiamen, on July 15.

The e-commerce, IT, hospitality, retailing and agriculture projects will be presented to recent graduates, seasonal agricultural workers and urban unemployed persons to inspire them to start their own ventures and learn about new opportunities.

Experts in management, government policy, law and finance will be invited to give advice to the attendees.
