Beijing E-Town hosts HICOOL for 1st time
The information technology track of HICOOL 2022 Global Entrepreneurship Competition, hosted by Beijing Overseas Talents Association, opened on July 21.
This is also the first time that Beijing E-Town is organizing a HICOOL competition.
The preliminary competition lasted for three days, with more than 300 new-generation information technology innovation projects competing for the semi-finals. The contest is conducted through offline and online roadshows and by answering questions from judges.
"As a gathering place for the new generation of information technology industries in Beijing, Beijing E-Town will not only bring new development opportunities to related industries in the area, but also provide more direct services for the subsequent application of high-quality projects in the track," said a manager of the competition.
The new generation of information technology industry is one of the four leading industries in Beijing E-Town. In 2021, the industry’s output value in the area exceeds 100 billion yuan ($14.82 billion), ranking first in Beijing.
Currently, a number of characteristic industrial clusters have been formed, led by companies such as BOE, SMIC, NAURA and Chipone, which have become the backbone of Beijing's industrial economy and high-tech industries.
