Searching for the Great Enterprises of the Future and Embarking 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 the 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 has been significantly shortened, and the reconstruction of the industrial chain has been 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 Nanqiang Entrepreneurship Camp (hereinafter referred to as the "Xiamen University Torch Entrepreneurship Camp").
In an uncertain arena, the Xiamen University Torch Entrepreneurship Camp aims to build a new - quality productivity ecosystem and help enterprises break through market barriers. It deeply links multiple resources, further promotes the integrated development of industry, academia, and research, facilitates the industrial transformation of excellent scientific research results, and contributes to the optimization of the national economic structure and industrial upgrading.
The strategic opportunity for breakthrough innovation technology is at hand. The Xiamen University Torch Entrepreneurship Camp is looking for the next great enterprise. Let's jointly hold the "torch" of technological innovation and ignite a certain future in an uncertain era.
