A university competition also open to external entrepreneurs
Launched in 2025 by Hong Kong Polytechnic University, this competition uses its network of transfer institutes to bring projects closer to Chinese markets. It also welcomes candidates without affiliation with PolyU, which sets it apart from many campus competitions. For an engineer based in Wuhan, his local presence deserves attention. A technical solution must be presented as a possible activity, with identified users, a demonstration and explicit industrial cooperation needs.
