The closing ceremony of the 12th Challenge Cup Business Plan Competition for College Students was held at Northeast Forestry University on December 9. Eight projects of Beihang University entered the national competition, which is the largest number of projects from a single university in the national competition. With the excellent performance of student teams, Beihang nabbed two gold prizes, one silver prize and five bronze prizes, and finally brought home the "Victory Cup" again. In addition, the eight projects were awarded the title of Online Popularity Projects (only 100 projects nationwide were awarded).

Led by Beihang Youth League Committee and supported by all schools and asset companies, this year’s competition fully demonstrates Beihang's approach of cultivating talents, mobilizing the school's hardware and software resources to support students' scientific and technological innovation, and transforming the university's scientific research advantages into talent cultivation advantages.

The Challenge Cup Business Plan Competition for College Students was initiated by the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League in 1999, and has been successfully held every two years for 12 times. Since its launch at the end of June, the 2020 competition has attracted 2,786 universities, including those from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, as well as 179,000 projects and 924,000 participating students, which are the highest numbers ever in the history of the competition.
