Past Event:
2023 Venue -- Hôtel Westminster
Hôtel Westminster on Rue de la Paix, an emblem of timeless elegance, will serve as the opulent backdrop for the ChuangXiang China Anhui Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition - European Division. Located on the famed area, this historic establishment, with roots dating back to the early 19th century, perfectly mirrors the ethos of the competition: a fusion of tradition and forward-thinking innovation. Just as the hotel stands close to iconic landmarks like the Palais Garnier and Place Vendôme, this competition, too, seeks to place its participants close to monumental opportunities in the entrepreneurial landscape.
