After layers of selection and fierce competition, 6 projects including manned electric aerial vehicles won the first prize, 12 projects such as satellite laser communication payloads won the second prize, and 18 projects including edge-side AI solutions won the third prize.
Acting Changqi, assistant CEO of Zero Gravity Aircraft Industry Group, led the manned electric aircraft project and won the first prize in the competition. Dai Changqi went out from Chengdu to start a business, and now he is back with the results of the project, hoping to promote the rapid implementation of the project with competition, and let the commercial scene of electric aircraft land in his hometown as soon as possible.
It is reported that "zero gravity" takes manned eVTOL aircraft as the core, and lays out diversified new energy aircraft such as electric fixed-wing aircraft and electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft to promote the development of green aviation industry. Founded in March 2021 and headquartered in Hefei High-tech Zone, the company has R&D, operation, production, flight test and other branches in Nanjing, Shenzhen, Jiaxing and other places.
"We are a team of double academicians, mainly engaged in the research and development and manufacturing of electric manned aircraft, committed to achieving low-carbon transformation of aviation, and three models have rolled off the assembly line. According to Dai Changqi, the electric fixed-wing aircraft has now been completed with three certificates and has been commercialized, and 22 orders have been signed in the first quarter of this year, and batch deliveries began in April. "This type of aircraft is a pure electric aircraft, used to replace the original oil-powered light sport aircraft, the operating cost is reduced to about one-fifth, mainly used in flight training, tourism, private flight, sports competitions, etc., within five years will achieve an output value of more than 100 million. "The multirotor is currently in the airworthiness application stage, and it is expected to be mass-produced for commercial application after obtaining certification next year. As the key core product of the team, the tiltrotor combines the vertical lifting of the helicopter and the advantages of fixed-wing aircraft such as high cost performance, high speed and large load, and has broken through the research and development of key tilting technology.
Dai Changqi said that the team has laid out the research and development of electric aircraft technology 10 years ago, and achieved independent and industry-leading in a number of key technologies, such as experiencing nearly 100 airworthiness subject verification, hundreds of thousands of experimental data to complete the airworthiness certification of electric aircraft, and promoted the establishment of airworthiness standards for electric aircraft in the mainland. "In addition to bringing the complete aircraft manufacturing industry of green aviation equipment with international competitiveness, we hope to build a national-level advanced aviation engineering technology innovation center in Chengdu, which will focus on the construction of academician workstations, introduce high-level talents in the industry, lay out the operation scenarios of the low-altitude economy, and promote the development of the standard rules of the low-altitude economy, including infrastructure and flight support. Dai Changqi said that Chengdu has a good entrepreneurial atmosphere, and is also optimistic about the business environment and industrial advantages of Taurus, and expressed his willingness to cooperate. "This award is a spur and encouragement for us, and will further promote our development in Chengdu. ”
"This time, the 'Rongpiao Cup' is full of masters, gathering many advantageous industries, projects and top talents across the country, and we feel honored to be able to compete with so many excellent projects on the same stage. "The laser flat panel display project from the Oriental Laser team won the third prize. Xu Jiangke, the founder of the Oriental Laser team, said that the competition also allowed them to further understand Chengdu's industrial policy and experience Chengdu's desire for high-tech industries and innovative talents. "Chengdu has a sound industrial chain and talent mechanism, which is a very strong foundation for our development, and we hope to have the opportunity to start a business in Chengdu and contribute to Chengdu's electronic display industry." ”
Two-way empowerment, go on a new journey of entrepreneurship together
Cultivating a culture of innovation and entrepreneurship, creating a good innovation ecology, fully activating all kinds of innovation resources, and allowing more innovative talents to emerge, at present, in the hot land of Chengdu, there is a strong atmosphere of innovation and entrepreneurship. At the scene, 10 projects reached an intention to sign on the spot. Jinniu District signed a contract with Ruike High Latitude Company on the spot, and will jointly promote the implementation of the AI pathological diagnosis project for nephropathy.
"Pathology is the gold standard for medical diagnosis, and pathologists are also known as doctors' doctors, so the accuracy of pathological diagnosis is very high. The project we brought is mainly to use artificial intelligence technology to automatically identify pathologies for kidney patients and assist doctors in diagnosis. Zhang Jin, the leader of Ruike High Latitude Company, said that because the pathological image itself is large, the area of the lesion is very small and there is a lot of degeneration, so it is difficult to identify. The advantage of this project is that the core algorithm is used to locate very small lesion areas in a very large size image, accurately identify them, and automatically complete quantitative analysis while reducing the doctor's labeling.
Zhang Jin is the founder of Jingchuang High-Dimension, a professor and chief medical scientist of the School of Biomedical Engineering of Sichuan University, who has published more than 50 papers in international journals and conferences, indexed 13 international journals by SCI and EI, obtained two international patents, won the National University of Singapore Innovation Education Award, Singapore National Outstanding Engineering Achievement Award, participated in the National 863 Program project as a sub-project leader, and won 2 projects of Sichuan Provincial Department of Science and Technology as a project leader. Founded in January 2023, Jingchuang High-Dimension is an innovative enterprise that uses digital medicine to help the development of the traditional Chinese medicine industry, integrating R&D and design, manufacturing, sales and service, and has a top domestic and international first-class expert team.
"The project has broad prospects, and it can be applied to pathological tests such as breast and cervical cancer in the future. Zhang Jin said that the project is currently working on a software system, and will be integrated with hardware manufacturers to form a fully automatic digital diagnosis system.
Referring to the landing of Taurus, Zhang Jin said that Taurus has a solid foundation for the development of the pharmaceutical and health industry, and is very attractive in terms of business environment, talent policy, and attraction services, and will deepen cooperation with Taurus for mutual benefit and win-win results. It is reported that Jinniu District continues to focus on the "introduction, education and retention" of talents, maximizes the vitality of talent innovation, entrepreneurship and employment, comprehensively improves the talent competitiveness, scientific and technological innovation and industrial agglomeration of Jinniu District, and continues to be the "Best Talent Introduction Urban Area in China".
