Testimonial from supporting organization and participants

“Competition is not only about winning, if students can provide feasible ideas to improve the community and can put them into practice, but this will also be beneficial to local residents, the Home Affairs Department, and students themselves. Students can receive technical, human resources, and management support from different organizations, which can further develop their entrepreneurship ability.”
