Top 12 Projects Compete on New Track for Shangcheng, Accelerating the Development of the Central Innovation Zone
-- On October 24, the 4th "Sprint Forward In Golden Boots" Innovation And Entrepreneurship Competition in Shangcheng District concluded successfully in Hangzhou. As an important platform for accelerating the construction of the Central Innovation Zone in Shangcheng, this competition underwent four months of global recruitment and rigorous selection. Twelve high-quality projects from six major industrial sectors competed, with the project "Development and Industrialization of AI Computing Power Chips Based on 3D Stacking and Multi-Core Technology" winning the championship. Upon landing, it will receive "multi-million-yuan" R&D subsidy support from Shangcheng District, injecting robust innovative momentum into the construction of the Central Innovation Zone.
Focus Areas: Six Sectors Outline the Future Industrial Landscape
This competition attracted 868 innovative and entrepreneurial projects from around the world, covering six key industrial fields: next-generation information technology, metaverse and digital services, intelligent manufacturing, smart IoT, life and health, and digital energy, which are highly aligned with the industrial system prioritized for development in Shangcheng's Central Innovation Zone. Among the top 12 projects, the integration of technological innovation and practical application has significantly improved: there are projects utilizing robotic micro-spraying technology, such as "Electronic Skin + AI: Creating the GPT Moment for Brain-Computer Interfaces," as well as industry-first biodegradable silk materials and medical device products that have already achieved mass production with stable customers, and standardized unmanned intelligent navigation system modules that deeply integrate centimeter-level high-precision navigation with contextual AI decision-making.
"With high technological content and strong transformation capabilities, these competition projects will provide robust momentum for cultivating new productive forces in Shangcheng," said Chen Bin, the chief judge of the competition. He noted that all final projects are characterized by innovation-driven core principles and industrial transformation as the carrier. This project trait of "technological breakthroughs + local adaptation" is precisely the direction that Shangcheng aims to cultivate.
Final Showdown: Comprehensive Evaluation System Tests Real Strength
The final competition featured timed project presentations and on-site Q&A sessions. After each presentation, seven chief judges and 25 public judges comprehensively scored the projects based on five dimensions: "Applicant and Team," "Project Technical Level and Business Model," "Industry and Market Prospects," "Project Feasibility and Implementability," and "Financial Analysis."
"How does the project achieve and guarantee measurement accuracy in advanced packaging application scenarios, and how does it stand out from competitors?" In response to the judges' questions, the project leader of the "High-Precision Electronic Semiconductor AI + 3D Intelligent Optical Detection System" reported on the project's core technological advantages and differentiated competitive strategies. It is noted that four of the top 12 projects have already registered and landed in Shangcheng, and their establishment will further improve the innovation ecosystem of the Central Innovation Zone and enhance the region's innovation capacity.
Ecological Empowerment: Full-Chain Support from "Awards" to "Implementation"
To ensure that projects are "stable and quickly realized," this competition has provided the top 30 projects with substantial "growth policy packages." Award-winning projects that meet conversion requirements can receive up to 10 million yuan in funding for entrepreneurial projects, along with a series of supportive measures such as loan interest subsidies, rent subsidies, and equity incentives. Furthermore, all projects that advance to the semifinals and meet relevant conditions can enjoy up to 200 square meters of free office space in Shangcheng's innovation and technology spaces for three years. Projects that achieve industrialization can also gradually enjoy higher categories of R&D subsidies. The project leader of a first-prize winning project stated, "Shangcheng has created favorable conditions and an environment for us in terms of policies, funding, space, and talent. We can fully 'set off lightly' and just focus on R&D and running the business."
So far, Shangcheng District has a total of 373 enterprise R&D platforms, including 156 provincial-level platforms such as key enterprise research institutes. It has nurtured 798 national high-tech enterprises and 17 (quasi-)unicorn enterprises, with a total talent pool of 407,000 people. "The competition is not only a stage for competition but also a connector, serving as an important bridge for Shangcheng to accelerate the construction of the Central Innovation Zone," stated a related official from Shangcheng District. In the future, the district will continue to deepen the "CID Talent Development" model, creating a closed-loop system of "attracting talent through competitions, retaining talent through policies, and cultivating talent through ecology," allowing more "Golden Boot projects" to grow into "industry benchmarks" and jointly write a new chapter in the construction of a model district for common prosperity.
