October 17, 2019, Beijing – Today, at the 2019 Intel Innovation Accelerator AI Partner Summit held in Beijing, Intel and partners launched the second phase of the “Intel AI100 Innovation Incentive Program” (“AI100 Program”) . The AI100 plan with the theme of “Inspiring Top 100 Innovations and Accelerating the Industry of 100 Billion” is another important measure for Intel to continue to build an AI innovation ecosystem, and it is also a further expansion and deepening of the “Intel Artificial Intelligence Innovation Incentive Plan”. Based on its comprehensive and complete artificial intelligence product portfolio and its unique advantages in software and hardware collaborative innovation, Intel has cooperated with industrial ecological partners to gather all-round resources such as technology, capital, ecology, market and industry to help 100 outstanding artificial intelligence innovators. The entrepreneurial team optimizes products and solutions, provides comprehensive innovation acceleration for the growth and expansion of the team, promotes the deep integration of artificial intelligence and industry, and promotes the ecological development of artificial intelligence and the implementation of intelligent applications.

Previously, Intel launched the first phase of the “Intel Artificial Intelligence Innovation Incentive Program” at the end of 2018, attracting nearly 100 high-quality artificial intelligence projects to participate in the fierce competition. After dozens of technical experts and industry leaders, 12 innovative and entrepreneurial teams stood out, with projects covering smart cities, smart factories, smart healthcare, smart security, smart retail, smart education and smart finance. Important application areas, among which many excellent teams have already implemented applications and started to implement deployment. For example: Shenzhen Kunyun Information Technology Co., Ltd. is committed to providing artificial intelligence acceleration solutions for the Internet of Things. Applications in smart city, security, industry and other fields have been implemented; Beijing Xiansheng Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd. is deeply engaged in the field of smart education, focusing on the deep integration of AI technology and teaching scenarios, and upgrading traditional education models; Ruishi Zhijue (Xiamen) Technology Co., Ltd. , focusing on computer vision applications of artificial intelligence and chip-level acceleration technology, providing image information analysis and system services. In the more than 7 months of in-depth docking, Intel provided the selected artificial intelligence innovation teams with multi-dimensional support such as project technical consultation, investment and financing docking, technical guidance, market promotion, and development cost subsidies, and jointly created a unique solution for them. Landed solutions allow products to expand to more and wider markets.
