Shaoxing China Textile City serves as the research area, and this study develops an integrated model of "AI+volunteer service+international business service" based on the strengths of Business English majors and the nature of college students' volunteer services. Develop the four functional modules of intelligent matching, multilingual translation, service hour certification and resource scheduling to build an intelligent volunteer service platform for college students. the problems of language barriers in foreign exchange, unbalanced distribution of volunteer manpower and fragmented service experience in Textile City have been addressed by the platform. This study establishes an achievable and promote-worthy AI-empowered volunteer service model. Improve the international service level and urban governance of Shaoxing Textile City, and offer a practical case study for applied talent training and industry-university-research collaborative innovation in universities.
