California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger speaks at the Alifest 2010 in Hangzhou city, east Chinas Zhejiang province, 11 September 2010. After giving a wide-ranging keynote speech inviting China to buy goods and services from his economically struggling state, California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger left AliFest 2010 with more than just a pocketful of Chinese business cards. Alibaba.com, which hosted the annual e-commerce forum in Hangzhou, China, reached an agreement to collaborate with California on an educational program that would equip 3, 000 of the states recent college graduates with the skills to compete in the digital economy. Backed by a US$3 million investment from Alibaba.com, the California Emerging Entrepreneur Initiative aims to foster jobs by giving grads classroom instruction, web-based consultation and other assistance so they can develop their own e-commerce companies. The program will be offered throughout 2011 in conjunction with 15 state-owned colleges and universities.
