An event marking the project platform launch of the National University Regional Technology Transfer Center (Greater Bay Area) Land-Air Integrated Intelligent Mobility Sub-Center (referred to as the "Intelligent Mobility Sub-Center") and the inauguration of the Ciyuan Agent Joint Innovation Workshop was held in Panyu District, Guangzhou, on August 21. The event, themed "Riding the Wave of Intelligence, Empowering with Ciyuan," saw 33 key projects from the second batch officially enter the sub-center, injecting fresh momentum into Panyu's goal of becoming a benchmark district for AI innovation and industrial growth in intelligent mobility within the Greater Bay Area.

Approved by the Ministry of Education in April of last year, the Intelligent Mobility Sub-Center was established on the Guangzhou University Town campus. Its technology transfer framework includes a CASE "one-stop" service system, leveraging AI to drive a full-cycle closed loop covering project discovery, scientific evaluation, precise services, and industrial ecosystem development. By matching university research capabilities against real-world enterprise scenarios, it shifts from one-way research output to two-way collaborative problem-solving, achieving a precise alignment where "industries pose questions and universities provide answers."

Since its inception, the sub-center has prioritized industry needs, collecting 484 project proposals from universities nationwide. To date, 42 projects have been admitted in two batches, with 150 additional projects in the third batch currently in reserve. Seizing the opportunities presented by the emerging Ciyuan economy, Panyu District has taken early action by partnering with leading computing power enterprise Runjian Co., Ltd. to co-found the Ciyuan Agent Joint Innovation Workshop at Guangzhou University Town. This initiative includes a "Computing Power Growth Plan" designed to tailor computing resources to the specific needs of startup teams at various stages of development.

On the talent ecosystem front, the Intelligent Mobility Sub-Center has joined forces with hard-tech entrepreneurship mentor Professor Li Zexiang's team to build a "New Engineering" innovation ecosystem. Together, they have established the Pearl River Science and Technology Innovation Institute and Guangzhou Pearl River Science and Technology Innovation Co., Ltd., advancing the practical development of science education centers, shared factories, and incubation platforms to cultivate hard-tech entrepreneurs at scale. Currently, 16 universities, including Sun Yat-sen University and Guangdong University of Technology, have joined the pilot program for an integrated "education-research-industry-innovation-entrepreneurship" talent cultivation model.
