This Specialized Event specifically targets three strategic emerging industries: New generation information technology, new materials, and biomedicine and pharmaceutical. It is open to Chinese enterprises in ASEAN countries and ASEAN-funded enterprises in China. Additionally, Chinese enterprises with cooperative projects in ASEAN countries may also participate by providing relevant proof of collaboration.
To motivate the participation of high-quality projects, the Specialized Event offers substantial awards and comprehensive support services. In terms of monetary awards, a top prize of RMB 50,000 will be set up for each of the three industry sectors. For implementation support, finalist projects that register an independent legal entity in Nanning for industrialization, or collaborate with local Nanning enterprises for project implementation, may apply for special policies in sectors including agriculture, industry, services, technology, finance, and talent offered by Guangxi, Nanning, and Nanning New & High-tech Industrial Development Zone. Projects attending the final round on-site will receive 3 days of complimentary accommodation and meals at designated hotels for two team members per project. Furthermore, finalist projects will receive one-on-one implementation support services, including assistance with office space selection, business registration, and bank account opening. Winning projects will be prioritized for recommendations to partner venture capital institutions and incubation carriers, included in the key project database of the China-ASEAN Technology Transfer Center, and given the opportunity to participate in the “China-ASEAN Tour” exchange activities to connect with ASEAN partnership resources.
