Start-up enterprises represents the future of China and serves as the driving force for the innovation economy. Supporting and cultivating a considerate number of start-up companies, is the key for enforcing China’s core competitiveness. In 2004, “2005 China Outstanding Business Start-ups Competition”, organized by China Venture Capital Research Institute made its successful debut. This event created a premium platform for the interaction and communications between fund-seeking start-up companies and venture capital institutions and has attained wide attention and recognition from both directions, building a brand-new model for the financing of start-up enterprises.

　　Based on this, “2006 China Outstanding Start-up Companies Financing Planning Competition” was now brought into this year’s agenda. The 2006 event will again invite approximately 20 prestigious venture capital institutions and organizations including 3I GROUP PLC, Sofinnova Partners, IDGVC, China Venture Capital Co.,Ltd., Guangdong Technology Venture Capital Group Co.,Ltd. and China Science & Merchants Venture Capital Management Co.,Ltd etc as the judges for the competition. At the same time, drawing on the experiences from the last event, it will continue to explore, summarize and promote the experiences of successful start-up enterprises and call for the care and support for the VC sector from the public. This will certainly lay a good foundation for the annual event of “China Outstanding Start-up Companies Financing Planning Competition”, which strives to become China’s most authoritative start-up companies ranking brand after a few years operations.

　　This competition aims to screen out the excellent growing high-tech start-up companies to share their successful experience, carry forward the entrepreneur spirit and concepts through publicity, awarding outstanding start-up companies and entrepreneurs with a view to impel the financing process of the Chinese start-up companies, accelerate the development of the VC industry and create a sound business environment.
