The 15th “Challenge Cup” China College Students Entrepreneurship Plan Competition was held at the Lingshui Campus of Dalian University of Technology from October 30 to November 2. Following multiple rounds of selection from the university-level preliminary round to the provincial semifinal, NEU won 4 special prizes, 4 first prizes, 4 second prizes, and 6 third prizes in this competition (including 4 first prizes, 3 second prizes, and 5 third prizes in the special track). NEU ranked third nationwide in total points and received the Winners' Cup for four consecutive years, marking its best performance in the competition to date.
Closely aligned with the strategic plan for comprehensively advancing Northeast China revitalization in the new era, this competition established the Northeast Revitalization & Industrial Upgrading special track. The track guided young students to root their entrepreneurial dreams in Northeast China and dedicate their youth to the development of the Liaoshen region. NEU gave full play to its discipline characteristics and geographical advantages and actively organized projects to participate in the special track. The participating students demonstrated a youthful spirit grounded in practical realities, committed to innovation, and dedicated to local development.
