Since its inaugural session in 2010, CHInano has been successfully held for 15 consecutive years. As China’s most authoritative, largest and most influential international conference on the nanotechnology application industry, it serves as an exceptional platform for top global experts, scholars and industry leaders to conduct academic exchanges, technology matching, corporate exhibitions, product promotion and capital cooperation.

As a professional competition under the CHInano brand, the CHInano Venture Contest has enjoyed six remarkable years of development. Focusing on cutting-edge nanotechnologies, the competition gathers high-quality project resources in micro-nano manufacturing, new-generation semiconductors and other pan-semiconductor fields, as well as their downstream applications. In 2024–2025, regional contests were held in Xi’an, Hefei, Beijing and Shenzhen, together with several special contests in Suzhou, with the Suzhou grand final further driving enthusiasm for cutting-edge technologies. The contest has not only enhanced the brand influence of CHInano, but also aggregated high-quality project resources, promoted the transformation of scientific and technological achievements, accelerated corporate development, and driven the continuous advancement of Suzhou’s nanotechnology industry.

In 2026, the CHInano Venture Contest will continue the series contest model and expand the scope of participating projects, strongly attracting high-quality projects from across the country. A number of regional contests will be launched in 2026, with the grand final to be held at Suzhou Nanopolis in October. The award ceremony will take place at the opening ceremony of CHInano 2026.
