Ant Financial, China's leading financial technology firm, and Zhejiang University announced Thursday that they will jointly launch a fintech research center to cultivate innovative talent in the field.

The two sides will collaborate to launch doctoral programs in fintech and digital finance and set up postdoctoral workstations in related fields.

Zhejiang University will also select its outstanding students each year to do internships at the fintech firm.
