Launched in mid-august 2025 and running through October 31, 2025, the competition attracted over 50 projects. Following the preliminary round, the Organizing Committee selected the 15 most outstanding projects for the final round, including 10 projects from the university level and 5 projects from the secondary and high school levels.
The teams reaching this year’s finals all presented high-quality ideas and projects. A key highlight was the practicality and solution-oriented approach toward social issues, such as education, support for people with disabilities, and green-sustainable environmental protection. Notably, the application of information technology and digitalization was clearly demonstrated through various products, including educational support tools, specialized education aids, and smart assistive devices. These ideas showcase the students' sensitivity to digital transformation trends and their ability to integrate professional knowledge with technological thinking.
Furthermore, it is noteworthy that many projects were firmly rooted in students' scientific research results, which were developed and transformed into commercial products through the startup competition. The Board of Judges evaluated the quality of this year’s projects as consistent and profound, reflecting the serious investment of the competing teams. Many ideas hold the potential to become pilot models serving teaching and learning activities or supporting school management.
