The finals will be held in the form of "10-minute PPT road show + 5-minute defense". The judging panel will use the innovation (enterprise) team's technological innovation points, operability, plan to expand the Chinese market, etc. as the scoring criteria to conduct on-site comments and scores.

Different from last year's competition, this year's competition has been completely upgraded and a China-Korea Industrial Design Competition has been added to encourage design innovation of small and medium-sized enterprises to drive industrial transformation and upgrading. The competition will provide relevant policy support and localization strategies for Korean enterprises to develop in China, promote the integration and complementarity of high-tech industries on both sides, and create a new platform for cooperation between Chinese and Korean enterprises, universities, scientific research institutions, entrepreneurship conservation and technology trading institutions.
