Recently, the four-week 2024 Start-up China international IT innovation practice program came to a successful conclusion. At the climax of the program - the "2024 Start-up China International Roadshow Day" event, five program teams composed of 14 University of Queensland students and 17 Chinese and international students from Dalian Neusoft University of Information gathered in the A2-309 Academic Lecture Hall demonstrated the innovative and entrepreneurial achievements of their project. The event attracted nearly 200 teachers and students at the university to watch the event, and it was simultaneously broadcast live on the university’s official Weibo.

The roadshow has received much attention and support. Professor Richard Thomas of the University of Queensland, Australia, Rong Yidan, Dean of the School of International Education of Dalian Neusoft University of Information, Tian Huiyi, Dean of the School of Innovation and Entrepreneurship, teacher Ao Ning, and Ren Zheng, a teacher of the Department of Software and Big Data Technology, participated in this roadshow as judges. Dean Tian Huiyi and Mr. Richard Thomas respectively delivered speeches at the event, emphasizing that this international roadshow is not only a stage for Chinese and Australian students to display and share their talents and creativity but also a bridge to promote mutual learning and friendship between students from the two countries.

In the subsequent roadshow presentation, the five teams of the program presented their project situations separately. Among them, the Twincity (Smart Fitness City) project stood out with its personalized, location-based fitness navigation service and won the Best International Project Award.
