The Zhejiang University Alumni community in the Bay Area gathered for a vibrant afternoon of exchange, spanning industries from AI and healthcare to venture capital and policy. Attendees introduced themselves with stories of cross-border entrepreneurship, startups, and investment journeys—painting a picture of a network rich in diversity and opportunity.

The conversation spotlighted the Bay Area’s unique role as a global AI hub. Participants highlighted the natural complementarity between China’s scale and computing power and the Bay Area’s talent and compliance ecosystem. This cross-border synergy, they agreed, is shaping the next wave of AI-driven innovation.

Lively discussions ranged from the future of AI hardware and glasses to the realities of AI text-generation & knowledge-based solutions and the shifting job market for young technologists. Alumni also shared real-world use cases—from government-backed AI applications to AIGC-powered gaming pipelines—underscoring how innovation is already transforming industries.

The gathering closed with a preview of the upcoming AI & Investment Summit in October at Berkeley, with alumni eager to continue building bridges across policy, capital, and industry.
