To foster entrepreneurial spirit and practical innovation among students, SWUFE held its 2026 "Challenge Cup" University Student Entrepreneurship Competition from January to April. Themed "Chasing Dreams, Shaping the Future," the campus-level selection round has now successfully concluded.
The competition drew active participation from over 3,000 students in more than 300 teams. Their projects spanned fields such as artificial intelligence, next-generation information technology, rural revitalization, cultural heritage, and social services, showcasing the creativity and social responsibility of SWUFE students.
Following an online preliminary review, 30 outstanding projects advanced to the final round, which was held on April 11. The final adopted a "5-minute presentation + 3-minute Q&A" format, where teams presented their core technology, business models, market prospects, social value, and future plans. Judges offered targeted feedback on project logic, innovation, commercialization, and market viability.
Award winners included 2 Special Prizes, 6 First Prizes, 8 Second Prizes, and 8 Third Prizes. Moving forward, SWUFE will continue to build platforms for technological innovation and entrepreneurship, empowering students to contribute to national and regional development through youth-led initiatives.
