On September 29, the International Institute of Finance (IIF) successfully conducted a review meeting for enterprises and projects seeking entry into its Science and Technology Innovation Center and the Changfeng Science and Technology Innovation Base. The event was attended by an expert panel comprising scholars from relevant academic fields and senior investment management professionals.

Guided by IIF’s orientation to support regional economic and technological development, the Science and Technology Entrepreneurship Center meticulously screened applications and shortlisted seven projects for review. These projects spanned fields including new material R&D, chip design, artificial intelligence applications, big data analytics, and technology platforms for emerging business models.

During the review, each candidate team delivered a project presentation in a “5+3” format (5-minute presentation + 3-minute Q&A session). Following each presentation, the panel engaged in detailed discussions with representatives, evaluating criteria such as entrepreneurial team competence, investment potential, goal feasibility, innovation, and market prospects. Adhering to the incubation standards outlined in the admission announcement, the experts independently assessed project maturity through blind voting, ensuring impartiality.

The review highlighted the technical strengths of the participating teams, with the panel providing precise feedback and objective scoring. Under the panel’s oversight, staff collated evaluation results, which will undergo formal approval procedures per IIF’s regulations before being publicly announced.
