Empowering global youth: The 2026 Beijing International Youth Innovation and Development Forum convenes
A new generation of youth forging ahead
At the Forum, the highly anticipated list of 2025 ZGC U30 winners was officially announced, spotlighting 30 exceptional young entrepreneurs in cutting-edge fields. Among them, 96.7 percent focus on strategic emerging and future industries such as artificial intelligence, humanoid robots, biomedicine, and brain science. Aiming for domestic substitution, industrial disruption, and the pioneering of new tracks, they demonstrate distinctive strengths: high starting points, strong technological capabilities, and rapid trajectories of growth. Building on this momentum, the recruitment and selection process for the 2026 ZGC U30 program was launched simultaneously and will continue to align with the strategic development layout of high-end, precision, and cutting-edge industries, seeking to identify young sci-tech innovation "breakthrough pioneers" under the age of 35. By targeting individuals with outstanding innovation capabilities, robust technical strength, and the courage to explore and experiment, the initiative aims to build a higher-quality development platform for the next generation of young entrepreneurs.
