Tomorrow's entrepreneurs offered the very best in business knowledge

Wang Yi is one of 30 students in Beijing who enrolled in the recent Stanford Ignite certificate program, which teaches innovators how to formulate, develop, and commercialize their ideas.

Like many of his classmates who have launched a startup, Wang is the chief executive and co-founder of his own business, the app "Liu Li Shuo" (Chinese for "fluently speaking"), which helps Chinese practice spoken English on their mobile devices.

The Ignite program is designed to deliver the same kind of immersive, innovative, and hands-on instruction that working professionals and graduate students at Stanford University's Graduate School of Business experience.
