Application Deadline: Ongoing The eFounders Fellowship program provides first-hand exposure to ecommerce and digital innovations, access to business leaders across Alibaba and China, as well as an opportunity to connect with like-minded, leading entrepreneurs in your region. The fellowship is a community of passionate and successful “Champions for the New Economy” looking to inspire and create a more inclusive development model for all. As former Special Advisor to the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) Jack Ma, Executive Chairman of Alibaba Group, recognized that by applying ideas from China’s most innovative businesses to their own ventures, fellows will be equipped to effect change in their home countries. With this opportunity in mind, the eFounders Fellowship was created in 2017 to find and empower local entrepreneurs who can leverage Alibaba’s experience in China.
