Through this award, many scientific research ideas of the students have contributed to the formation of entrepreneurial initiatives. This year's award-winning research ideas demonstrate the students' creativity, with many projects being both creative and rich in content, and having the potential for further development into commercial products.
Despite the encouraging results achieved by this year's award, this activity has not deeply penetrated. Some institutions have not shown adequate interest, and the collaboration between educational institutions and businesses in scientific research activities is still limited.
