Hupan University (湖畔大学) is a corporate business school located in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, China. It was founded in 2015 by Jack Ma, founder of Alibaba Group, a multinational technology conglomerate.[1]

History

Jack Ma and nine fellow business executives decided to found a school based in China, during the 2015–16 Chinese stock market turbulence as China's answer to Harvard Business School, which itself was founded during the banking panic of 1907.[2]

The institution also offers online classes.[3]

gollark: I like to design my serious road network things as one-way hexagon grids with highway uplinks.
gollark: "You want to get to your neighbour's house? You have to loop around the entire city on dirt paths, pay $1000 in tolls, and spend 5 hours in traffic jams."
