Event Recap
On March 25th, EFactor hosted an exciting Made For China Startup Competition Global Final in the Jinghang Conference Center, with the Government of Yangzhou Guangling District. A total of 800 people attended this event. Which included the leaders of Central Zhigong Party, leaders of National Science Department, leaders of National Education Department, leaders of National Foreign Experts Department, leaders of China Incubator for Students Studying Abroad, governors of Jiangsu Province, Mayor of Yangzhou city, and governor of Yangzhou Guangling District.
We had 8 competing teams, investors from the Jiangsu Province, and 5 distinguished judges: Mr. Xiaoping Xu, Super Angel and Founder of Zhen Fund, Mr. Wanshan Wu, CEO of Huatai Securities and Nanfang Fund, Mr. Datong Chen, CEO of Huashan Capital, Mrs. Yuanlan Gao, CEO of Gaoshengxing Investment&Counsulation Company, and Mr. Qianri Zai, Director of Yangzhou Science&Technology Bureau.
The competition started off with the CEO of EFactor Holdings, Mr. Adrie Reinders, giving a fantastic welcome speech. He welcomed the competing teams from US & China, and encouraged the young entrepreneurs from all over the world to chase their dreams bravely.
With 8 regional finalists from 4 regional finals-San Francisco, Boston, Beijing and Shanghai, the competition for the final prizes was fierce. Each team had 10 mins to present their business plan, and 5 mins to answer the judges questions. Each presentation were very appealing to the judges, however, it raised many questions from the judges during the Q&A portion.
With a stiff competition it was a fairly hard decision for the judges to choosing a winner. First place of 500,000 RMB went to the 4+1 Health team from Shanghai(http://www.efactor.com/profile/view/id/1712875/), second place of 250,000 RMB went to the Nano Beam from Boston, and third place of 100,000 RMB went to the ShockEner team(http://www.efactor.com/profile/view/id/1712909/) from Beijing and Translate Abroad from San Francisco (http://www.efactor.com/profile/company/id/17011/). As an added bonus the judges awarded the Clear Ear from San Francisco a Special Prize of 25,000 RMB.
Later that night an awarding ceremony was held at the Jinghang Conference Center where the competing teams received their prizes from Marion Freijsen - COO of EFactor Holdings, Adrie Reinders - CEO of EFactor Holdings, Xiaoping Xu - Super Angel and Founder of Zhen Fund, and Mr. Xi Chen - Governor of Guangling District. Mr Adrie Reinders then gave a speech about EFactor’s development and his entrepreneurial experience. Followed by Mr Xiaoping Xu giving a speech about Enterprising and Interests.
The Global Final was a great and successful event. During the private dinner, many people asked for more details about EFactor and the Yangzhou Government invited EFactor to present more Made For China Startup Competition for the next 5 years in Yangzhou.
So, entrepreneurs from all over the world who missed this year’s Competition, you can join us in 2013 Made For China Startup Competition. Look forward to seeing more and more excellent entrepreneurs and great business plans!
