On November 18, 2025, the Advanced Ceramics Industry Innovation Park in Zibo High-Tech Zone became the epicenter of cutting-edge innovation, hosting the launch of the 14th China Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition (New Materials National Finals). This prestigious national event, guided by the Torch High Technology Industry Development Center of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the Shandong Provincial Department of Science and Technology and organized by the Zibo High-Tech Industrial Development Zone, brought together 197 elite enterprises and teams from 32 provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities across China to compete for the ultimate innovation crown in new materials.
As a flagship representative of Suzhou's tech innovation ecosystem, Suzhou AlSTech Co., Ltd. distinguished itself from a vast national field of competitors through its deep expertise in cutting-edge electron microscopy technology. The company emerged victorious, seizing the championship title in the startup category with decisive dominance. In this ultimate showdown against the industry's finest, Suzhou AlSTech has powerfully showcased the formidable strength of Suzhou's new materials sector on the national stage!
National Competition Endorsement: Champion in the "Ultimate Showdown"
With the core objective of "driving breakthroughs in key technologies and fostering industrial chain collaboration," the competition deeply integrates the innovation, industry, capital, and talent chains to identify pioneering innovation projects in new materials and bridge the "last mile" of technology commercialization.
Supported by major partners including China Merchants Bank, Xinhua China Economic Information Service, and the Shenzhen Stock Exchange, the event also launched the Torch "High-Tech Elite Enterprises" service program—all national finalists are enrolled in a special cultivation pool with access to a comprehensive support package of policy incentives, financial matchmaking, and talent services, serving as a "super springboard" for accelerated growth.
In this "ultimate showdown" spanning frontier sectors like advanced semiconductor materials, superconducting materials, and nanomaterials, 197 teams brought their unique strengths to the table. Suzhou AISTech rose above the fierce competition by leveraging its comprehensive strengths in technological innovation, industrial viability, and market prospects to claim the national championship in the startup category. This honor represents the ultimate validation of the company's capabilities and serves as powerful testament to the innovation prowess of Suzhou's new materials industry.
Suzhou AISTech 's Core Strength: Breaking Barriers Through Technology, Claiming Victory Through Innovation
Winning the national championship is the inevitable result of Suzhou AISTech’s deep commitment to technological innovation and tackling critical industry pain points. As a high-tech enterprise incubated from a key project of the Yangtze River Delta Advanced Materials Research Institute, Suzhou AISTech specializes in cutting-edge electron microscopy technology. The company successfully developed China's first Ultra-surface electron microscope, achieving full autonomy across the entire industrial chain—from design and manufacturing to assembly and debugging. This core technological advantage became the "trump card" for winning the competition.
For this event, Suzhou AISTech presented a core project focused on critical applications such as semiconductor inspection, precisely addressing the industry's "bottleneck" technical challenges. The project had previously been selected as a "Major Technology Transfer and Commercialization Case" by the National University Regional Technology Transfer Center (Jiangsu). On the national stage, the Suzhou AISTech team earned high recognition from judges and peers through professional technical presentations, clear market planning, and solid R&D achievements, ultimately securing the top honor in the startup category nationwide. Crowned in Glory, Suzhou AISTech Launches a New Chapter of Industrial Upgrading!
From qualifying for the national finals to clinching first place, every step taken by Suzhou AISTech embodies its founding mission of "empowering industrial upgrading through technological innovation." This championship win is not only a major milestone in the company's development trajectory but also injects strong momentum into the new materials sector in Suzhou, Jiangsu Province, and across the nation—leveraging the "High-Tech Elite Enterprises" cultivation resources from the competition, Suzhou AISTech will further accelerate the industrialization of its core technologies and drive deep application of cutting-edge electron microscopy in semiconductors, 2D materials, atomic manufacturing, biomedicine, and new energy. This will help China's new materials industry break through critical technological bottlenecks and advance toward a higher-quality development stage.
Looking ahead, Suzhou AISTech will take this national championship as a new starting point, intensifying R&D efforts and expanding application scenarios. The company will continuously push the boundaries of innovation in cutting-edge electron microscopy technology, contributing to national efforts in tackling critical "bottleneck" technologies!
