Attracting Talents through Competitions, Building Dreams in AI! The Finals of the Artificial Intelligence Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition Successfully Concluded

On July 11, the finals of the "Intelligence Gathers at the Canal · Intelligent Computing for the Future" Artificial Intelligence Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition successfully concluded in Gongshu District, Hangzhou. 18 shortlisted teams competed on the same stage with cutting-edge projects, making the roadshow scene brilliant. This high-standard event not only selected the outstanding representatives of the industry's future but also became a key step for Gongshu District to attract talents and lay out the new blue ocean of the AI industry.

A Fierce Competition, a Peak Showdown Displaying Excellence

At the finals, 18 shortlisted teams fully demonstrated their cutting-edge explorations and industrialization potential in the field of artificial intelligence through wonderful project roadshows and in-depth expert defenses, winning high recognition from on-site judges and enterprise mentors.

The winning teams not only won the trophies symbolizing the highest honor but also received a generous "entrepreneurship gift package" provided by Hangzhou Gongshu District, including special entrepreneurship support policies, convenient talent settlement services, in-depth industrial cooperation docking resources, and a total of tens of millions of yuan in competition bonuses. These will inject strong impetus into the subsequent development of the projects.

Highlighted Features, a Vigorous AI Innovation Ecosystem

As an AI technology competition focusing on industrial applications, this competition showed the remarkable characteristics of "wide geographical coverage, diverse participating entities, and outstanding capabilities of participants". Participants came from all over the country, covering universities, research institutions, and start-ups. The projects covered popular fields such as intelligent manufacturing and smart cities, life and health, smart logistics, and global collaborative innovation, fully demonstrating the vigorous vitality and diversified pattern of China's AI innovation and entrepreneurship. Among them, three representative projects are particularly eye-catching:

The "Rui Che" project of embodied (brain-like) intelligent low-speed unmanned driving, with its breakthrough technologies such as brain-like computing chips, pure visual navigation, and multi-modal decision-making systems, has solved the long-standing industry pain point of "high cost and poor environmental adaptability of laser perception schemes". Its innovativeness and industrialization prospects have won unanimous high praise from the judges, and it is considered a key force in promoting the development of related fields.

The core advantage of the "Know the World AI: Immersive Interaction Portal with Gaussian Splatting 3D Reconstruction" project lies in the strong practical value and broad market potential of its "panoramic fusion Gaussian splatting 3D reconstruction technology" in digital twin application scenarios. Its clear business model and landing path have attracted much attention.
The innovative highlight of the "Next-Generation AI CAD Software Technology Development and Sales" project, "LLM-driven geometric node graph-based modeling", is impressive. The project's excellent performance in resource-constrained environments has enabled it to stand out in the fierce competition, and its future development is worth looking forward to.

Multi-dimensional Empowerment, Joining Forces to Attract Talents for the Future

As one of the organizers of this competition, the Chinese Association for Artificial Intelligence deeply participated in the top-level design of the competition, the formulation of evaluation criteria, and the invitation of experts, ensuring the cutting-edge, professionalism, and authority of the competition throughout. The People's Government of Gongshu District, Hangzhou, provided comprehensive organizational guarantee and resource support for the competition. Moreover, through the generous "entrepreneurship gift package" and the special support policies implemented subsequently, it showed its firm determination to build a first-class artificial intelligence industry ecosystem and attract global innovators.

With the subsequent landing, transformation, and resource docking of the winning projects, the spillover effect of this competition will continue to be released. Under the multiple resonance of policies, capital, technology, and scenarios, Gongshu District, with its clear strategic layout and solid support system, is accelerating to become an important source of AI innovation in the Yangtze River Delta. A new chapter of the era, driven by artificial intelligence to leapfrog new productive forces and reshape the thousand-year context of the canal, is thus unfolded.
