The global recruitment for the 2025 Chint Cup Youth Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition is officially launched.
At the beginning of June this year, the 2025 Chint Cup Youth Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition officially kicked off. Hosted by Chint Group and jointly supported by Xi'an Jiaotong University, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, and The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, against the backdrop of artificial intelligence and the zero - carbon economy reshaping the global industrial landscape, the competition has set up three cutting - edge tracks: green development, intelligent electrical, and technological innovation. It is open to young entrepreneurs, university students, and research teams around the world, providing a competitive stage for young people to transform technologies and implement industrial projects.
Three Tracks Provide Insights into Industrial Frontiers
This year's competition closely aligns with Chint Group's industrial layout of "green energy, intelligent electrical, and smart low - carbon". The track design covers the most promising innovation areas at present. The green development track focuses on new energy technologies, smart energy efficiency, green infrastructure, etc., encouraging participants to explore application scenarios for renewable energy. The intelligent electrical track revolves around core areas such as electrical equipment, microgrids, industrial automation, and digital twins, promoting the intelligent upgrading of the power equipment industry. The technological innovation track targets cutting - edge fields such as artificial intelligence, new materials, and semiconductors, aiming to discover new high - quality industrial projects.
"The competition is not only a technical contest but also a touchstone for industrial implementation," said a relevant person in charge of Chint Group. All projects shortlisted for the final must have relatively clear commercial transformation paths and application prospects. The competition organizing committee will conduct a two - dimensional review of "technical evaluation + market verification" to ensure that the projects are precisely matched with industrial needs.
One - Million - Yuan Prize + Full - Cycle Incubation Support
To encourage youth innovation and entrepreneurship, the competition has set up a prize pool of over one million yuan and project support of up to ten million yuan. The special prize winner will receive a 200,000 - yuan bonus, and the first - prize winner will get 100,000 yuan. In addition, the winning projects will be provided with a maximum of three - year venue rent subsidies and seed - fund investment. Moreover, relying on the "One Institute, One Park, One Fund 3+N" science and technology innovation incubation model, Chint Group will provide full - chain support for the implemented projects from technology R & D, pilot production to market promotion, including accessing Chint's global supply - chain resources and being preferentially included in the group's procurement system.
The organizers of the competition hope to build an ecological system with in - depth integration of the "innovation chain - industrial chain - capital chain - talent chain" through the competition. By collaborating with universities such as Xi'an Jiaotong University and Shanghai Jiao Tong University and professional investment institutions, they will provide technical guidance, capital connection, and industrial resource integration services for excellent projects, helping young entrepreneurs bridge the gap "from the laboratory to the market".
As the curtain of the 2025 Chint Cup is raised, an entrepreneurial feast that gathers global wisdom and sparks innovation has officially begun. From the laboratories of cutting - edge technologies to the production lines of industrial implementation, from the creative ideas of young makers to practical solutions for industry progress, the competition is becoming a bridge connecting dreams and reality. Currently, the registration channel is fully open. You can search for the official website of the "Chint Cup Youth Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition" to register. From now until the end of August, participants can submit project proposals through the official website of the competition. After the preliminary and semi - final reviews, the shortlisted teams will participate in the on - site roadshow organized by the organizers in October.
