Breaking away from traditional forum formats, the event adopted a diverse "theme sharing + flash speeches + free social interactions" format, providing a better sharing and exchange experience for Chinese and foreign youth.

During the theme-sharing segment, six individuals from diverse nationalities and backgrounds were invited to share their experiences of entrepreneurship and employment in Tianhe.
