In April 2020, Alibaba Business School has launched the Alibaba Global eCommerce Talent (GET) Global Challenge worldwide. This is a competition specially designed for young entrepreneurs to exhibit their creativeness in developing unique digital solutions for businesses and individuals affected by the pandemic outbreak.
The Alibaba GET Global Challenge is part of an introduction initiative about the Alibaba GET Programme, a holistic educational approach to cultivate young digital entrepreneurs and supply SMEs with digital equipped talents with the necessary knowledge as well as executable skillsets for the growing demand in global digital industry.
