As an annual pitch conference and competition, the ShanghaiTech Innovation and Entrepreneurship Summit (techIES) unites innovative minds from ShanghaiTech and beyond. It is a gathering to connect visionary entrepreneurs with angel investors, mentors, industry leaders, government representatives, and scientists. The primary goal of this event is to spotlight rapidly advancing entrepreneurial projects within the community, while also providing valuable insights on innovation and entrepreneurship to the audience.
Last year, the first international session on biomed of techIES attracted 13 projects from six countries. Three projects from the United States, Singapore and the Netherlands won the first, second and third prizes, respectively.
On December 1 (Friday), 2023, techIES will open its 2nd international session for participants from invited partner institutions and their affiliates, providing a platform for entrepreneurial talents to present their innovative ideas and technologies. The 2023 international session focuses on biomedicine, biomedical engineering and intelligent healthcare.
A group of experienced judges will vote for the most outstanding projects. The three winning teams will win 50,000CNY, 30,000CNY and 10,000CNY respectively.
