On the afternoon of July 12, the first session of the " INNO-YES Roadshow" and the evaluation meeting for the first batch of incubated projects, hosted by INNO-YES Incubator (Beijing) of PKU-IICSH, was successfully held at the Zhongguancun · Dinghao Global Roadshow Center.
This event was guided by Office of Science and Technology Development, Peking University, hosted by PKU-IICSH, organized by INNO-YES Incubator and Yanyuan Fund, co-organized by China CITIC Bank Beijing Branch, and supported by Dinghao DH3 Building. It aimed to deeply integrate the top scientific and technological innovation resources of universities, accurately identify and intensively incubate high-quality early-stage projects, accelerate the transformation of scientific and technological achievements into real productive forces, and advance the industrial application of cutting-edge technologies.
The event venue was filled with a lively atmosphere. 15 innovative projects from fields including life sciences, intelligent manufacturing, integrated circuits, new materials, and AI delivered brilliant presentation in roadshows. The project teams demonstrated their core technological breakthroughs and business model concepts, fully embodying the enterprising spirit and vigorous innovative vitality of sci-tech teams in the new era.
The evaluation panel, composed of academic experts, specialists in sci-tech achievement transformation, investment experts, and industry experts, conducted comprehensive and professional reviews and selections of the participating projects from multiple dimensions, such as technological innovation, market prospects, team capabilities, and industrialization feasibility. Judges engaged in in-depth Q&A with project teams on commercialization paths and future development expectations, and investment experts expressed strong investment intentions in several high-quality projects. After the evaluation, the judges highly commended the quality of the first batch of projects gathered by INNO-YES Incubator, noting that these projects accurately capture the pulse of hard-tech innovation in the new era. They also expressed great expectations for establishing a long-term, in-depth mechanism for project recommendation and cooperation with INNO-YES.
Going forward, INNO-YES Incubator will continue to pool sci-tech innovation and talent resources from universities and research institutes, and keep focusing on cutting-edge technologies and industrial implementation. The outstanding projects that stood out in this event will be prioritized for incubation and investment support from INNO-YES Incubator and Yanyuan Fund. Meanwhile, all projects shortlisted for the evaluation meeting will be seamlessly integrated into INNO-YES, gaining comprehensive, one-stop in-depth support and empowerment covering technical evaluation, scenario-based application, market expansion, capital connection, industrial linkage, and policy consultation.
INNO-YES Roadshow is more than just a roadshow; it is committed to building an open, collaborative, and sustainable innovation ecosystem. Through concept validation, intensive incubation, and targeted investment, together with innovative mechanisms such as "incubation-investment linkage" and "grant-investment linkage", it will effectively help early-stage sci-tech projects cross the "valley of death" in sci-tech achievement transformation, achieve high-quality development, continuously cultivate cutting-edge sci-tech forces that lead the future, promote the in-depth integration of scientific and technological innovation and industrial innovation, and accelerate the cultivation and development of new productive forces.
