The Run with Yiwu-Global Youth Business Program (GYBP) is sponsored by the municipal government and organized by the city's foreign affairs office. The program provides e-commerce, trade, and logistics training for young people from around the world.

Through activities such as salon sharing, corporate internships, and cultural experiences, the program is aimed at building a platform for international people-to-people exchange.

GYBP was first launched in April 2018 and has had six sessions so far. It has provided training for 206 outstanding young people from all over the world. Participants not only learn hands-on knowledge and hone their business skills, but also make new friends and find business opportunities.

The organizers are currently inviting members to the 7th session, which is scheduled to be held from Aug 10 to 14.
