Young Man from Yichang to Show His Dream in Ireland
2012-05-18 13:00:13

On the evening of May 16 (12:30 pm May 16 Irish local time), before the public demonstration of the venture acceleration project, the Irish Prime Minister Kenny met with the entrepreneurial team representatives of the Startupbootcamp (entrepreneurship training camp) including "Pombai” in a scenic park along the Grand Canal in Dublin.

    As the sole representative of China, Wan Xiong, a 25-year-old young man from Yichang, will present his entrepreneurial dream of his "Pombai” team to over 200 world well-known angel investors and venture Capitalists in Dublin, Ireland on May 16.

    Wan Xiong was born in Xingshan and raised up in Yichang. He graduated from the No. 1 Senior High School and then was admitted to Beijing Institute of Technology. After graduation, he was engaged in business consulting services in Beijing, and joined the “Pombai” entrepreneurial team as a partner. Wan was invited to Dublin, Ireland to participate in the 3-month venture acceleration project, which is a branch of the world\'s top incubator TechStars in Europe, and is supported and sponsored by IBM, Microsoft and other large companies on February 13, 2012. The "Pombai" team was fortunate to stand out from over 200 start-up teams from the world and be among the final 10 teams. The other 9 members are from the United States, Lithuania and Nepal.

    Wan and his team, under the guidance of venture instructors, with the entrepreneurial incubator seed fund and the World Resources platform, has been polishing and developing the Pombai project. According to Wan, the instructors are the world\'s top serial entrepreneurs and leaders, entrepreneurs, and have a wealth of entrepreneurial and hands-on experience.

    The "Pombai” system is committed to the establishment of a traffic- ticket-sale-platform for buyers and sellers around the world. If a tourist would like to purchase a ticket from Dublin to Beijing and s/he does not understand the Chinese language, s/he can book the ticket easily with a credit card through the Internet. However, once s/he gets off the planes and wants to travel by trains, buses, taxis, ships and even a tricycle. S/he needs to know the Chinese language as the traffic information may not be on the Internet and if there is information of this kind, most probably they are in Chinese. At the same time, his credit card will no longer be useful, and will be replaced a lot of cash. However, the "Pombai system can automatically and quickly solve the language problem by enabling the tourists to continue to use their native language to buy and sell ticket and pay for the tourists and vendors from around the world, achieving accessible global travel.
