After working in Shanghai, Zhou Jianzhen has also headed back home to Lanzhou and set up an online store selling local specialties. With the incubator's help, he now has more than 80 suppliers and made sales worth 5 million yuan in the second half of last year.
"Incubators, policy and support are bringing people to their hometowns. Business opportunities in East China are shrinking and the potential of here is now sucking talent back west," said Chuanshuo's CEO Li Guoliang.
