As the largest and most influential programming international science and technology competition in Europe, Junciton China 2023 International Geek Marathon once again held hands with Chengdu and "started running" in Xinjin District today (September 15). In the post-Universiade era, Chengdu Sports Camp City keeps moving, which is also one of the important supporting activities of Xinjin Branch Venue of Chengdu World Science Fiction Conference in 2023. In addition to attracting nearly 100 teams from all over the world to Chengdu for a "banquet" during the three-day event, the innovation and technology competition also brought a mid-Finland intellectual industry innovation conference simultaneously, establishing a brand-new channel for Chengdu's scientific innovation industry dialogue with Europe.

The Third Plenary Session of the 14th Chengdu Municipal Committee of the Communist Party of China made it clear that it is necessary to give full play to the leading role of scientific and technological innovation, accelerate the construction of a modern industrial system with intelligent, green and integrated characteristics and in line with the requirements of integrity, advancement and safety, and improve the overall scientific and technological level and industrial level of the city.

This activity is dedicated to building Chengdu's iconic international science and technology innovation business card and talent recruitment incubation platform. Through the Rong-Europe Industrial Dialogue, a platform will be built for China-Finland innovative enterprises to promote in-depth cooperation in enterprise technology research and development and market development. The Sino-Finnish digital intelligence industry and talent innovation activities will bring about a brainstorming of big names in the industry. The whole activity helps the development of Chengdu's science and technology innovation industry by linking the world's first-class universities and well-known top science and technology enterprises at home and abroad.

Twice behind Chengdu

As the world's leading geek marathon and global technology community, Junction brings together technical talents from all over the world to collaborate as a team within 48 hours around the most cutting-edge technology fields of the present and the future to program creative solutions to various challenges issued by track partners. Since the first event was held in 2015, Junction has accumulated more than 30000 contestants from 107 countries and regions around the world, creating more than 6000 innovative projects, including Harvard, Yale, Cambridge, Stanford, MIT and other global university teams, including Microsoft, Nokia, Accenture, Ericsson, Daimler-Benz, More than 180 top global enterprises such as SAP have reached track cooperation, which has been held in 17 countries and regions including Chengdu, Tokyo, Seoul, Singapore, Barcelona, Vienna and Budapest.

The significance behind this Junciton International Geek Marathon is self-evident after it was held in Chengdu in 2020. From the invention of the earliest paper money in China to the popularization of block printing, it all reflects the scientific and technological innovation gene passed down from generation to generation in Chengdu. Especially at the key point of starting a new journey to realize the goal of the second century, Chengdu has been entrusted with the important mission of building a science and technology innovation center with national influence. As one of the most dynamic and happy cities in China, Chengdu is also the starting point of the "Southern Silk Road" along the belt and road initiative. It is also China's new opening frontier and the most attractive investment area in the west. Up to now, Chengdu has become the fourth national science and technology innovation center, the first batch of innovative cities in the country, the first national independent innovation demonstration zone in the west and the pilot city of "science and technology innovation China". From 2017 to 2022, the number of high-tech enterprises in Chengdu increased from 2473 to 11463, quadrupling in five years, with an average annual growth rate of 35.9%; the total number of listed enterprises of Kechuang Board reached 17, ranking 6th in China and the first in central and western China.

Xinjin, the specific host of this activity, is focusing on the strategic deployment of the municipal party Committee to adhere to scientific and technological innovation and accelerate the construction of a modern industrial system, seizing new opportunities for the development of the digital economy, deeply integrating into the "big science and technology innovation" system, vigorously implementing innovation enabling drive, strengthening the transformation of scientific and technological achievements, and promoting the digital economy to empower the real economy in all directions.

Taking innovation to promote the integration of digital economy and the real world as an example, Xinjin takes data as the resource of industrial innovation elements, lays out the industrial chain around the innovation chain, promotes the development of integration of digital economy and the real world through collaborative innovation, and cultivates new industrial tracks. Driven by Tianfu Mushan Digital New City, through the connection and combination of digital technology and application scenarios, the cross-border reorganization of digital economy and real economy in the whole region is promoted, so that innovation constantly emerges and new species are formed.

At present, more than 10 digital economic innovation platforms such as Industrial Internet (Chengdu) Innovation Center of China Academy of Information Technology, Southwest Regional Headquarters of Guanglianda and CIM + Ecological Joint Innovation Center, Yuntian Lifei Self-evolving Urban Intelligence, Yunjin Smart Science and Technology National Headquarters have been gathered locally, forming the cluster development trend of more than 230 enterprises such as Unicom Digital Science, Huawei, Guanglianda, Longhu Longzhi, Ningde Times and Gree Intelligent Electric Appliances.

Xinjin has become a microcosm of Chengdu's scientific and technological innovation and development.

To innovate, we should develop quality, and to innovate, we should have dynamic vitality. In Chengdu, at present, scientific and technological innovation has become the key support to promote the upgrading of industrial basic capability, the modernization level of industrial chain, accelerate the construction of modern industrial system and continuously enhance the core competitiveness of the city. It is not so much Junction holding hands with Chengdu again as Junction and Chengdu embracing technological innovation together.

Chengdu links the world

It is understood that Junction China 2023 is a grand gathering of global innovative youth and technology pioneers. The event is carried out in the form of "1+1+1" combination, i.e. 1 theme activity, 1 international competition and 1 industry docking meeting, linking global scientific and technological talents, top universities, leading enterprises and industrial media.

It is worth mentioning that in the Rong-Europe industrial dialogue link, a platform will be set up for China-Finland innovative enterprises to promote in-depth cooperation between Chinese and Finnish enterprises in technology research and development, achievement transformation and market development. During the event, a number of Finnish enterprises from Nokia, AFRY Global Chemical Consulting Engineering Company, Atostek Digital, Etterboro Engineering Company, Kalmar, Olin, Geobear, NASDAQ Helsinki, etc. will have a dialogue with Chengdu. In addition, through activities, we will promote cooperation, promotion and two-way contact between Chinese and Finnish enterprises in the fields of technology and resources, promote more new achievements, new technologies and new products to "come in" and "go out," further expand "the belt and road initiative" to jointly build national international scientific and technological exchanges and cooperation, and assist key industries to build strong chains.

Another focus is that Junction China 2023 Geek Marathon will focus on artificial intelligence and meta-universe. In combination with the development of Chengdu science and technology innovation industry, 4 professional tracks will be set up to link 40 world-class universities and 300 offline information technology, software engineering, design and business teams to participate in the competition, so as to solve future-oriented problems with technology and innovation.

It has to be said that the choice of this professional track is also very consistent with Chengdu.

Chengdu artificial intelligence industry layout is relatively early, industrial scale development is continuing to grow. In 2022, the scale of artificial intelligence industry in Chengdu was RMB 61.6 billion yuan, ranking 7th in China, the industrial growth rate ranked 1st in China, and the comprehensive strength ranked 6th in China. In the first half of this year, the industrial scale reached 42.4 billion yuan, up 36.9% year-on-year.

This artificial intelligence track is to hope that competitors explore unique innovative scenarios in the field of artificial intelligence and industrial automation, and with creative thinking, conceive and try to develop a software or platform to become an excellent intelligent solution.

This meaningful exploration will also help Chengdu's scientific and technological innovation industry develop.
