Indonesian students studying abroad have opportunities to develop entrepreneurial ideas through international exposure; however, many still face difficulties in transforming business ideas into structured and financially feasible business models. This community service program aimed to strengthen entrepreneurial literacy among Indonesian students in China through Business Model Canvas and financial strategy training. The program was implemented with 18 Indonesian students affiliated with PPIT NUIST, Nanjing University of Information Science and Technology, China, using interactive lectures, case-based discussion, guided practice, and evaluation of Business Model Canvas drafts. The results showed that the training improved participants’ entrepreneurial literacy and business planning skills. The average entrepreneurial literacy score increased from 58.3 ± 8.7 in the pre-test to 84.4 ± 6.2 in the post-test, with an N-Gain score of 0.63, indicating a medium level of improvement. Participants’ understanding of Business Model Canvas increased from 54.7 ± 9.1 to 86.1 ± 5.8, with an N-Gain score of 0.69, while financial strategy understanding increased from 51.9 ± 8.9 to 80.6 ± 6.7, with an N-Gain score of 0.60. All participants completed Business Model Canvas drafts, and the overall drafting skill reached a good category with a mean score of 4.04. These findings indicate that integrating Business Model Canvas and financial strategy can strengthen entrepreneurial literacy and practical business planning skills among Indonesian students abroad. The program offers a replicable model for international community service in entrepreneurship education.
