2010 Tsinghua-Intel Innovation and Entrepreneurship Camp for University Students took place in Tsinghua University.

The Camp was co-held by the Pilot Base of Entrepreneurship Education and Intel China.

24 teams from nineteen universities in China participated in the Camp. 73 team members went through entrepreneur classes, on-site visits in corporations and business proposal design practices.

The classes of the camp were designed to cover key areas concerning technical innovation and entrepreneurship, including market analysis, entrepreneurship proposal design and entrepreneurship strategy. Students also visited several top business parks in Beijing.

The event is different from traditional entrepreneurship competition in the sense that it combines all kinds of resources in the Pilot Base, enabling participants to form teams under close supervision of scholars and professors. Among them, three representative teams from Tsinghua University and Shanghai Jiaotong University will take part in 2010 Intel+UC Berkeley Technology Entrepreneurship Challenge this November.

“The aim of the Camp,” said Professor GAO Jian of SEM, the academic director of the Camp, “is to enable potential entrepreneurs to feel how it is like to start a business, strengthen their skills, help them avoid blind attempts with reasonable judgments.”
