We are now operating on a regular basis to host events ranging from online and offline tech seminars to Job Fairs and Startup Bootcamps. Moreover, we created financing, talent recruiting channels, and mentorship programs to connect U.S-China resource and capital more efficiently. This year, we would like to carry on our achievement by hosting Keynote Speeches, Panel Discussions, New Venture Competition, Tech Showcases, Career Fair, Networking Events and Elite Dinner. In our 6th Conference, we will host following panels: Artificial Intelligence, Robotics, Virtual Reality, Mobile Health, Human Computer Interaction, China Young Innovation Leaders. In addition, we have over 160 innovative startups compete in this year’s New Venture Competition, and the selection has been very competitive. Our panel of 20 judges consists of top tier angel investors and venture capitalists from both U.S and China. We look forward to the performance of 13 teams who entered into the Semi-Final and the 6 teams in the Final. Furthermore, we have 25 companies at the career fair, ranging from large corporation to promising tech startups as well as top VC firms. Networking opportunities with over 60 prominent speakers are also available at the luncheon and the elite dinner. Last but not least, we want to give our special thanks to our speakers, partners and sponsors. Without their great support and contribution, we would not have gone this far. We would also like to thank our attendees for being interested in the 6th CMU Summit. We hope that you will have a great and enriching time here. We wish you every success in your future study and career.
