According to Nreal founder Xu Chi, the company will commercialize the world's first mixed reality glasses for the overseas consumer market starting in the third quarter of 2020, and Wuxi's talent and high-end manufacturing resources will support Nreal in breaching the emerging market.

Xu Yiping, director of the Standing Committee of Wuxi Municipal People's Congress, extended a warm congratulation to all the winners in his opening speech. He said that the Taihu International Innovation Challenge is an open platform to attract projects in four industries, namely internet of things, new-generation information technology, life science and advanced manufacturing.

The event led to 100 project representatives agreeing to or showing intention to set up operations in Wuxi. The ceremony also saw representatives of 48 projects sign agreements with local industrial parks.

The competition is also supported by a number of talent and technology intermediaries at home and abroad. A group of eight organizations including Nordken Innovation Center and startup service provider Cyzone were honored as "excellent cooperation agencies" at the event.
