Search for future great enterprises and embark on the road of technological innovation together
The global technological landscape is undergoing profound changes. In the field of artificial intelligence, enterprises around the world are increasingly competing in the R & D of large models; In the semiconductor field, core enterprises in many regions are increasing their investment in semiconductor R & D; In the new - energy sector, the competition in areas such as solid - state batteries is intensifying... According to the prediction of McKinsey Global Institute's "The Main 'Arenas' of the Future", 18 high - growth industries such as AI software and services, semiconductors, and biotechnology will become the core forces to reshape the business landscape and the global economy. At the same time, the technology iteration cycle is sharply shortening, and the reconstruction of the industrial chain is accelerating, bringing unprecedented opportunities and challenges to technology entrepreneurs. Keeping pace with the times, Xiamen University and Xiamen Torch High - tech Zone have jointly launched the 2025 Xiamen University Torch Entrepreneurship Growth Camp and Nanyang Entrepreneurship Camp (hereinafter referred to as the "Xiamen University Torch Entrepreneurship Camp").
