In order to fully stimulate entrepreneurial enthusiasm and attract high-quality projects to participate, the organizing committee of the competition organized and deployed a series of intensive and efficient promotional activities, and the popularity of the competition continued to rise. At the beginning of the launch, the organizing committee held 28 offline promotion activities in 10 cities including Beijing, Shanghai, Hangzhou, Wuhan, Xi'an, Chongqing, Chengdu, Changsha, Nanjing, Hefei, as well as Hong Kong and Macao Special Administrative Regions. They visited universities and entrepreneurship incubation bases, had in-depth face-to-face exchanges with young students and start-up teams, and the atmosphere at the event was lively. Many entrepreneurial teams registered for the competition on site after learning about the competition information. Among them, the promotion event on the Hong Kong station was extremely popular, and after the event, a Hong Kong and Macau project liaison group was specially formed to answer questions and clarify doubts for the Hong Kong and Macau project teams. The competition also invited leaders from government departments in Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macau, experts from Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macau universities such as South China University of Technology, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (Guangzhou), and Macau University of Science and Technology, well-known entrepreneurs representing the five tracks of the competition, including iFlytek, Ubiquitous, Yihang Intelligence, Huada Group, Wen's Group, and Sanqi Interactive Entertainment, as well as well-known figures from Hong Kong and Macau such as Huo Qigang and He Youjun, to record call videos for the competition. From political protection to industrial resonance, from technological leadership to practical implementation, the competition gathered multiple forces to cheer and encourage entrepreneurs, forming a strong appeal and demonstrating the strategic advantage of the Bay Area as a national highland of new quality productivity. The relevant departments of the governments of Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macao worked closely together to hold a high-level press conference. The governments of Hong Kong and Macao Special Administrative Regions actively connect with local universities, social organizations, entrepreneurship incubation platforms, and investment and financing institutions, and deeply mobilize Hong Kong and Macao projects to participate in the competition. The organizing committee of the competition also accurately connected with 166 universities inside and outside the province nationwide, covering key scientific and educational resource areas extensively, actively mobilizing young students to register for the competition and realize their entrepreneurial dreams. The propaganda campaign has achieved diversified coverage of online and offline, traditional media and new media. The "Crowd Entrepreneurship Heroes Gathering" program held at Shenzhen Qianhai DreamWorks and the third Summer Hong Kong Macao Youth Entrepreneurship Carnival Colorful Day held at the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area (Guangdong) Innovation and Entrepreneurship Incubation Base have all promoted and attracted close attention from the participating groups for the competition. Intensive and effective publicity and mobilization work quickly translate into the enthusiasm of makers to participate. As of now, the number of registered projects for the competition has exceeded 7000, covering 31 provinces (regions, municipalities), Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps, as well as Hong Kong and Macao Special Administrative Regions, fully reflecting the attractiveness of the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area to entrepreneurs across the country. The competition, in line with the "Million Talents Gathering in Southern Guangdong" action plan, is becoming an important platform to stimulate new quality productivity and gather high-level talents in the bay area. From the perspective of the structure of the registered projects, the significant feature is that "quantity and quality fly together". The five major tracks of artificial intelligence and robotics, integrated circuits and low altitude economy, medicine and health and biomanufacturing, modern agriculture and food technology, and modern services and cultural creativity are all showing an active trend, closely following the national strategic direction and focusing on strategic emerging industries and high-tech fields. The participating projects generally have high technical content and great commercial potential. Many teams have registered enterprises and have independent intellectual property rights. There are also high-level talents such as doctors and masters among the members, presenting distinctive characteristics of high education, high technology, and high growth. It is worth mentioning that there have been over 1700 participating projects from Hong Kong and Macau, widely distributed across all tracks. Among them, the fields of modern services and cultural creativity are particularly active, with new formats such as digital entertainment, design creativity, and cross-border services constantly emerging. This reflects that with the deepening of "soft connectivity" in the Bay Area, Hong Kong and Macao entrepreneurs are accelerating their integration into the mainland's entrepreneurial ecosystem, becoming an important force in the innovation and entrepreneurship map of the Greater Bay Area. Xie Zhongbao, Deputy Director of the Department of Human Resources and Social Security of Guangdong Province, said, "The participating projects present distinctive highlights such as wide coverage, high technological content, strong growth potential, and strong Hong Kong and Macao characteristics, reflecting the profound foundation and strong attraction of the entrepreneurial ecology in the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area." The three regions of Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macao share the same roots and vitality. Nowadays, this cultural identity, institutional compatibility, and industrial complementarity are evolving into the core of the Bay Area attracting entrepreneurial talents from all over the country. As Huo Qigang, Vice President of Huo Yingdong Group, said, "The Greater Bay Area is a vast platform that integrates diverse cultures and gathers innovative thinking, full of infinite opportunities and challenges." Li Xingwei, President of Macau University of Science and Technology, also firmly stated, "This is a stage where dreams and opportunities intertwine. The Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area is embracing every soul that dares to pursue their dreams with an open mind." Entrepreneurs are responding to a common choice with practical actions - settling in the Bay Area and heading towards the future. The Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area, a hotbed of entrepreneurship, has already engraved the concept of "daring to explore and compete" into its genes. From "three processing and one compensation" to "Southern style manufacturing", from the rise of e-commerce to the wave of scientific and technological innovation, the Greater Bay Area has always been at the forefront of innovation and entrepreneurship. Especially since the beginning of this year, Guangdong has been driven by the dual wheels of "employment+entrepreneurship", solidified the talent base with the "Million Talents Plan", leveraged new quality productivity with the Bay Area Entrepreneurship Competition, and created a full cycle support system covering policies, platforms, resources, and talents for entrepreneurs. More and more innovators, makers, and entrepreneurial teams are rooted in the Bay Area and deeply cultivating it, making the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area a truly "preferred and ideal place for entrepreneurship".
