The three-day training camp tailors a series of activities for students, including sand table exercises, expert sharing, in-depth reviews, and visits to open innovation centers for large enterprises. We invite experts with strength and experience to serve as mentors and accompany participating enterprises to improve their roadshow expression and business logic abilities, helping them achieve good results in higher-level competitions.
"This training camp is practical, and we have chosen excellent mentors. At the same time, we have set up entrepreneurship sand table exercises, and combined with the development of participating enterprises and the needs of subsequent high-level competitions, we have set up targeted courses.
