on september 19, the second guangzhou guangdong-hong kong-macao greater bay area small and medium enterprises innovation and entrepreneurship competition and the 2024 "maker guangdong" guangzhou city competition finals (hereinafter referred to as the "competition") were successfully held at the guangzhou research institute of xidian university. the reporter learned from the scene that since the launch of this competition in july, it has attracted 268 high-quality projects from enterprises, universities, and scientific research institutions to participate, of which specialized and innovative enterprises accounted for more than 54%.
huang fuwei, deputy director of the guangzhou municipal bureau of industry and information technology and director of the municipal private economy and small and medium enterprises bureau, said that the competition aims to create a source of vitality for innovative small and medium-sized enterprises, accelerate the formation of an integrated development pattern in which large enterprises drive the development of small and medium-sized enterprises and small and medium-sized enterprises inject vitality into large enterprises, and build a new industrial development ecology with innovation collaboration, capacity sharing, and supply chain interconnection.
the 16 projects that stood out in the preliminary and semi-finals gave wonderful roadshow presentations at the finals, such as mitochondrial disease diagnosis, class 1 new stem cell drugs, 5g-a redcap baseband chips, new mems quantum sensor devices and key technologies, high-frequency communication (4g/5g/6g) lens projects based on photonic crystal artificial electromagnetic metamaterials, high-throughput multifunctional cross-contamination-free pathological infection color and ai digital pathology auxiliary diagnosis system, ultra-fast and high-activity volumetric bioprinter, etc.
in the end, the class 1 stem cell new drug project from guangzhou saijun biotechnology co., ltd., the next-generation ar optical technology project from guangna siwei (guangdong) optoelectronics technology co., ltd., and the life-assisted exoskeleton project from the innovation and entrepreneurship incubation base of south china university of technology won the championship of this competition.
compared with last year, what is special about this year's projects? hu haitao, executive director of guangdong high-tech emerging industry development research institute, told yangcheng evening news that in previous years, projects tended to be more technically innovative, but this year, more emphasis is placed on project implementation. many projects showed cooperation in intellectual property, financing, and market entry during roadshows. the projects are at a higher level of innovation, and are basically aimed at filling domestic gaps and breaking "bottleneck" technologies.
what kind of projects can stand out? "as a judge, i put innovation and advancement first, rather than whether the project makes money. a project can only be dynamic if it is innovative. if it remains unchanged or relies on imitation, it will have no future." hu haitao also reminded that whether a project is innovative is not something that the company can say on its own. generally speaking, it must be evaluated by a third-party professional organization or relevant government departments for its innovation and leadership.
zhu wenkai, vice president of xidian university, mentioned that the guangyan institute will take the opportunity of hosting this competition to give full play to xidian's strong scientific research and talent advantages, increase school-enterprise cooperation through integration of production and research, collaborative innovation, and resource integration, further build a scientific and technological innovation system with enterprises as the main body, and actively explore the development paradigm of orderly integration of industrial chain, innovation chain, capital chain, and talent chain, and effectively transform the potential of innovation into an inexhaustible driving force for the upgrading of the bay area's industries.
at the finals, the organizing committee also released the project's needs for technical cooperation, funding, talent and venue. representatives from more than 30 industrial parks, enterprises and investment institutions held one-on-one negotiations with the project team to assist outstanding enterprises in accelerating their development and promote the implementation and transformation of outstanding innovation and entrepreneurship projects.
