competition rules

Preliminary round: The participating companies or teams will submit business plans through online screening. The organizing committee will review the project materials. Those who pass the review will be shortlisted for the preliminary round, receive the competition questions, and submit solutions. The top 30 projects will be shortlisted for the semi-finals. The semi-finalists and results will be announced on the official website of the event on May 18, and the registration deadline is before the 18th.

Semi-final stage: There are two competition areas in Beijing and Shanghai. The interviews will be conducted in the form of offline closed-door interviews. Each project interview will last 20 minutes. The jury will score (out of 100) based on the presentation of the exchange projects. The top 10 projects in the two competition areas will enter the finals.

Finals: Offline roadshows are the main form of evaluation. Each project will have a 10-minute roadshow and 5-minute Q&A session, for a total of 15 minutes. The roadshow content will focus on the solution's approach, solution ideas, service scope, service capabilities, technology, resource reserves, operability, team introduction, etc. The judges will score the projects on site based on their innovative value, application prospects, and commercial value. The top three projects will be selected and shortlisted for the 2019 Global AI Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition China Medical Group Finals. The remaining seven projects will receive Excellence Awards.
