According to the "China News" newspaper, on January 12, 2022, at the entrance of an office building in the Huanggang High-tech Zone in Hubei Province, a black robot quietly stopped to celebrate the completion and production of the donkey robot in the Huanggang High-tech Zone. At the same time, in the park of Shenzhen Happy Valley, there are tourists happily enjoying the VR shooting experience of "guns and bullets" and experiencing the surge of adrenaline.

The little donkey robot that puts into production robots and the Haocun Technology that launched the gun forest and bullet rain game are the first batch of projects settled in the Hubei Provincial Returnee Double Innovation Center, and there are more returnee entrepreneurial projects in the 1,000-square-meter public office area of the Future Science and Technology City in Wuhan's East Lake High-tech Zone.

Returnee Talent Innovation and Entrepreneurship Base, Haichuang Center, Returnee Double Innovation Center...... In recent years, in order to let the technology of returnee entrepreneurial talents enter the market and open the market, under the leadership of the European and American Returned Scholars Association and the European and American Returned Scholars Associations in various places, regional, provincial and prefectural and municipal returnee entrepreneurship centers have sprung up and appeared in various high-tech zones.

"Returnees" + "double creation" have become the keywords full of highlights in the eyes of investors, behind this, it is inseparable from the promotion of the Haichuang Center, and even more inseparable from the help of the European and American Alumni Association.

"Selection" + "breeding" Haichuang pain points are broken one by one

On December 28, 2020, Hubei Provincial Returnee Double Innovation Center was officially inaugurated in Wuhan Future Science and Technology City. Hubei, which has many colleges and universities and scientific research institutions, has also gathered a large number of overseas students. According to incomplete statistics, more than 200,000 overseas students have participated in innovation and entrepreneurship in Hubei, and in Wuhan's East Lake High-tech Zone alone, this group of people exceeds 20,000 people.

Cheng Wei, full-time vice president of the Hubei European and American Returned Scholars Association, introduced to The China News that the "Hubei Provincial Returnee Double Creation Center" is led by the United Front Work Department of the Hubei Provincial Party Committee and the Hubei European and American Returned Scholars Association (Hubei Federation of Overseas Scholars), jointly built with Wuhan East Lake High-tech Zone and future science and technology city, operated by Dongke Chuangxing, and currently has 13 settled enterprises, providing services for more than 70 returnee entrepreneurial enterprises, helping them solve the difficulties encountered in the process of entrepreneurship, and "opening up the problem of card neck".

"It's very easy to register a company, but incubating a startup requires a higher level of service." Huang Xiulie, operation director of Hubei Provincial Returnee Double Innovation Center and marketing director of Dongke Chuangxing, said that many returnee entrepreneurs with technical backgrounds only have ideas and technologies during the early stage of entrepreneurship, and they are very unfamiliar with operation.

Understaffing, lack of funds, cramped grounds... It is a stumbling block on the road of a large number of returnees to start a business. Paying attention to these pain points, the European and American Returned Scholars Association and the Double Innovation Center fully participated in the "selection", "education", "investment" and "recommendation" of the enterprises in The Sea.

From patents to profits, many Haichuang enterprises have worried about the market and funds. The founder of Haocun Technology, Xiong Penghang, who graduated from the University of Paris VI in France, plunged into the research and development of artificial intelligence gesture control technology in the early stage of entrepreneurship, and the research and development progressed smoothly, but it came before success, which was difficult for the market to break through and the financial situation was tight. At this time, in order to make the development of the enterprise go further, the Double Innovation Center sent charcoal in time and reached out to help.

It is understood that after Haocun Technology settled in the Shuangchuang Center, the center quickly invited it to participate in the largest entrepreneurship competition in Hubei Province - Optics Valley 3551 Entrepreneurship Competition to provide consulting assistance for enterprises to participate in the competition. Xiong Penghang, who hopes to turn the "Iron Man" armor in the movie into reality, took the "artificial intelligence wearable body movement recognition" project and broke all the way to the global finals. During the competition, the Shuangchuang Center also helped Haocun Technology connect with Fiberhome Venture Capital. The financing of 5 million yuan and the 2 million yuan prize of the entrepreneurship competition have enabled Xiong Penghang's enterprise to gain new impetus for rapid development and move to a higher level.

From R&D to production, the site problem is an unavoidable roadblock. In the first half of 2021, Donkey Robot has developed six or seven patrol robots, logistics robots and security patrol robots, which have become famous in the field of low-speed unmanned driving. Although the donkey robot has been making great progress in research and development, orders and demand have gradually increased, but Ding Feng, technical director of the University of Southern California, and CEO Zhou Zehua have been worried about the production site problem.

Cheng Wei recalled that at that time, the Hubei European and American Returnees Association and the Hubei Provincial Returnee Double Innovation Center quickly contacted some development zones in Hubei Province to help enterprises find multiple venues, and finally Xiao Donkey Robot chose Huanggang High-tech Zone to set up a new production area. Like the name of the company " Little Donkey ", this stubborn and stubborn enterprise completed production within 3 months. In Ding Feng's words, the little donkey robot "always gets timely help at critical times."

"Investment" + "recommendation" Scientific and technological achievements have been transformed

The number of patents is the clearest signpost on the road of returnees. At present, the enterprises settled in the Hubei Provincial Returnee Double Innovation Center have 102 independent intellectual property rights and 33 invention patents, of which many of the patents of returnees are in the forefront of the country.

According to the Shuangchuang Center, the core technology of Haocun Technology can change the dilemma of frame-by-frame animation of AR interaction, and realize motion capture and complete AR interaction through smart wearable devices. The founder, Xiong Penghang, also has a larger goal: "to commercialize wearable gesture recognition and control technology to fill the gap of insufficient development of machine touch on a global scale." ”

The patented technology of Xinyundao Data Technology is not to be spared. Its core technology focuses on the application of chip customization and artificial intelligence for the application of big data real-time processing technology, which can enable China's existing 100,000-level microscope biological living cell images to be restored to million-level microscope data levels through algorithms, breaking the monopoly of overseas related technologies.

Enterprises have, patents have, the European and American Returned Scholars Association and the Double Innovation Center focus on how to transform scientific and technological achievements into real productivity, Cheng Wei said: "What we hope is 'paper into money, money into paper', so that scientific and technological innovation can make money, and then feed back scientific and technological innovation, forming a virtuous circle."

In order to achieve this goal, from production to application, from enterprise to society, the European and American Alumni Association and the Dual Innovation Center have built a bridge.

Haocun Technology previously completed an inter-provincial cooperation, which made the Shuangchuang Center remember deeply. With the help of the information provided by the European and American Returned Scholars Association and the Double Innovation Center, Happy Valley of Shenzhen OCT Group has used the technology of Haocun Technology to launch the AR interactive gun battle game "Gun Forest Bullet Rain" game, which has been launched since the Spring Festival in 2021, bringing millions of yuan of flowing water. With a strong sense of reality, interaction and competition, "Bullets and Bullets" has also become a recommended project in the hearts of tourists that "the value of play experience has soared".

On April 29, 2021, the Medical and Health Committee of the Hubei European and American Returned Scholars Association held its inaugural meeting. Since then, in the discussion organized by the European and American Returned Scholars Association, the experts of the Medical and Health Committee have "close contact" with Xin Yundao, and after in-depth communication, Xin Yundao and the Department of Breast Nail Surgery of Wuhan University People's Hospital have cooperated to jointly carry out early screening of breast cancer and let the core technology of Xin Yun Dao land.

"Graduation" from here Sets sail from here

"From 0 to 1, the Double Innovation Center is only a short road for Haichuang enterprises to take." The person in charge of the operation of the Shuangchuang Center is more willing to compare the Shuangchuang Center to a university, and the returnees who have graduated from overseas universities and returned to China with creativity and technology will also graduate from the Shuangchuang Center, with a reasonable property structure and excellent product applications to enter the market.

Today, this "university" welcomes an average of "new students" every month, and the projects of previous "graduates" are also being promoted in an orderly manner.

"I hope that more and more returnees will choose to return to China for development." Cheng Wei expects that under the support of the existing policies, more returnees will join Shuangchuang, "As a link between overseas students and an assistant to do a good job in double creation, the European and American Returned Scholars Association will definitely do a good job in service work, and help Hubei's high-quality development by condensing the strength of returnees."
