The workshop of this year attracted more than 160 entrepreneurs to sign up. After strict selection, 78 participants were finally admitted. The average age of the participants is 40 years old. They are basically the core executives of the founding teams. The registered places of these enterprises are Shanghai. Most of them are technology-based enterprises established within five years, nearly 70% of which have obtained equity financing. Among them, there are a large number of "unicorns", which generally have high growth, and the accumulated financing amount of the group has reached more than RMB15 billion.
In order to achieve "efficient selection, accurate cultivation and full service", the Commission has held "the Battle of Maker in China Shanghai Competition and Top 50 enterprises with the most investment potentials in Shanghai" as the starting point. The workshop participants are also the competition players, realizing the promise that "the end of the competition is the beginning of cultivation", and lay a solid foundation for Shanghai to cultivate outstanding entrepreneurs and local "mass entrepreneurship and innovation" heroes. It is reported that the list of "Top 50 venture enterprises with the most investment potentials in Shanghai in 2020" will be released in December.
