The China Innovation Challenge is an innovation crowdsourcing service activity that openly collects solutions for enterprises' technological innovation needs through "unveiling the list of competitions".In September 2017, the State Council issued the Program for the Construction of the National Technology Transfer System, which proposed to "stimulate the vitality of innovation entities, strengthen the Technology Supply and Demand Matching"; Shanghai issued the "Shanghai Regulations on Promoting the Transformation of Scientific and Technological Achievements" and "Shanghai Action Plan for Promoting the Transfer of Scientific and Technological Achievements (2017-2020)" in April and June respectively, emphasizing from different angles to further stimulate enterprises' innovation needs and enhance their innovation capabilities. In this context, the event will help stimulate the innovation demand of local enterprises, guide enterprises to open innovation, help sort out key common problems in the region's industries, help cultivate a number of professional science and technology service institutions; gather the wisdom of the public, pool the strength of the public, optimize the allocation of resources for each innovation factor in the whole chain of transformation of scientific and technological achievements, promote the orderly docking between the supply and demand of scientific and technological achievements, and activate the momentum of Shanghai science and technology innovation.

Shanghai is the first time Shanghai has been the host region for the China Innovation Challenge.National Eastern Tech-Transfer Centeras the presentThe specific organizer of the China Innovation Challenge (Shanghai).CEO Mr. Yan Mingfeng said that the competition is an opportunity to help more enterprises find technology suppliers to precisely match their needs, to let service organizations to exert their professional service capabilities to guide supply and demand to match, and to let technology suppliers to seek their own value results. As the organizer of the competition, East Center should actively play its role as a fourth-party platform, which can not only gather more demand and supply from enterprises but alsoincentiveActive participation of professional service providers to create an excellent technology transfer ecosystem.

For example, the demand for artificial intelligence, AI, big data and other applications accounted for more than one-third, reflecting the future pattern of innovation centered on intelligence and the interconnectedness of all things through digitalization. More than 20 technology demands in the field of advanced manufacturing reflect the development trend of the manufacturing industry based on the information age, including the increasing digitization and intelligentization of scientific research tools, the relocation and collaboration of innovation modes, user participation in the innovation process, virtualization and networking of research and development means, and other characteristics.

The Chinese and English versions of the technology demand announcement for enterprises in the Shanghai region will be released publicly through the China Innovation Challenge website, Shanghai Science and Technology and other various technology platforms, as well as through domestic and overseas channels, through the four international hubs of the National Technology Transfer East Center in the US, UK, Canada and Singapore, using government and government support agencies such as the US-China Cooperation and Development Council, UK Department of International Trade, UK-China Trade Association; MIT In addition, we are looking for "Golden Idea" technology solutions from colleges, universities and research institutes such as Yale, Cambridge, Oxford, Imperial College, University of Toronto, Nanyang Polytechnic, as well as overseas well-known entrepreneurial service organizations, entrepreneurial communities, venture capital platforms and other community platforms, to explore the establishment of a transnational high-speed channel for technology docking.

By using the platform of the Challenge and taking the needs of enterprises as the guide, through the transformation policy of scientific and technological achievements, a number of technology transfer service agencies, such as 114 Industry-University-Research Collaborative Platform, Mai Technology, Flying Sky, Kechuangbang, Technology Neighborhood, Bay Valley Intellectual Property, etc., are guided to "match" with enterprises one by one, helping enterprises to clearly describe and dig deep into their technological needs and find the best solutions. The right research team to provide high-value services such as corporate innovation capability diagnosis and intellectual property management.

The competition will be held at the end of December, targeting three groups: technology demanders, challengers and technology service providers. "Top 10 Enterprise Innovation Needs", "Best Solution Award", "Best Technology Transfer Service Provider Award", and prioritized to connect with various science and technology innovation policies.
