University to cooperate with Professor Zexiang Li to develop entrepreneurship education.

4月7日，香港科技大学电子与计算机工程学系教授、大疆创新科技有限公司联合创始人、宁波智能技术研究院院长李泽湘访问宁波诺丁汉大学，与校方共商科创教育的未来和实践。此行，他还授予校内两个学生初创团队各50万的探索资金，并为师生带来一场创新创业讲座。

将与宁波诺丁汉大学

共谱创新生态体系

上午，李泽湘一行来到宁波诺丁汉大学，执行校长尼克·迈尔斯教授向他们表示热烈欢迎，副校长崔平教授陪同他们参观了学校海洋楼和理工楼的实验室。李泽湘与科研人员、学生创新团队亲切交流，并针对产业化痛点提出了自己的见解。

随后，他与校领导开展座谈，深入探讨科创教育、创新创业人才联合培养等合作。双方达成初步合作意向，拟以科创营为蓝本，引入形式多样的创业实践教育，共同打造一个系统性的创新人才培养生态体系。

“任何的发展，关键是人。人才靠什么？靠教育”，李泽湘说，创业教育的发展需要创新，需要高校和企业的共同支持和培养。这点得到了学校科研副校长周荫强教授的大力赞同。他说，非常期待与李泽湘教授共同探索科创教育在宁波诺丁汉大学的新路径和新方法，充分发挥高校在科技创新中的作用，产学研深度融合，打造创新生态体系。

为两个宁诺创业团队

注入探索100万资金

此行做客宁诺，李泽湘有一项非常重要的议程——向两个在2021XBOT PARK智能C端科创训练营冬令营中脱颖而出的宁诺团队授予共计100万元的探索基金。作为XBOT PARK 的创始人，李泽湘教授整合多年0到1硬科技创新心得，通过科创营帮助年轻人创新创业。

今年，通过学校孵化园的推荐，四个宁诺团队有幸与清华、交大、哈工大等高校学员同台竞技并最终获“最佳人气奖”、“最佳进步奖”、“最佳洞察奖”、“最佳技术奖”等奖项。其中两个团队获得了各50万元的探索资金。

宁诺大二学生倪佳哲和毕业生王嘉艺所在的团队即是其中之一。他们瞄准的是“她”经济。王嘉艺说，“许多996女青年回家后疲惫不堪，即便很想瘫倒在床，但都市丽人的自觉让她们需要一次次洁面，就怕卸妆卸不干净。所以，我们设计了一款能给用户反馈的洁面产品，高倍微距摄像头能帮助检测化妆品残留，让用户科学地洁面。”

另一个获探索资金的团队研发的产品是一款智能化妆镜。团队的负责人，宁诺毕业生贾一凡说，这是他在科创营期间灵光一现想出的点子。

“镜面屏的兴起，加上看到女朋友学习化妆难，让我想到设计一款智能化妆镜。镜面显示屏可以让用户化妆同时播放美妆视频作为参照，辅以AR指示、妆容对比纠错、个性化推荐等功能，作为女性的居家美妆顾问。”他表示，科创营的学习教会他不断提炼概念，持续打磨产品。这段经历让他受益匪浅。

“创业教父“眼中

有潜力的年轻人

上午10点，李泽湘来到宁波诺丁汉大学图书馆开讲。100多名学生济济一堂，有些没有座位的学生站在教室后面，还有的从门外探着头张望，这些都是慕名而来的“粉丝”。

“理解行为与用户”、“定义问题与产品”、“产品开发与设计”，慢慢建立起“设计思维”、“工程思维”和“系统思维”……现场，李泽湘分享了诸多推动学生创新创业背后的“秘诀”。

谈到多年创业教育的探索与实践，他说，“具有创业潜力的年轻人是什么样的？首先是好奇心。从教育的角度来讲，很简单，就是知道怎么去问问题，通过问问题去把一件事情快速地搞清楚；其次是团队合作，特别是跨界合作并互相学习；然后是在干中学，这也是我们检验一个人是否具备创业潜能的有效方法，是否有快速的行动力和试错力，实现不断迭代。”

然而，有了这些还不够。李泽湘认为，还需要一个内在驱动力。

“

教育者所要做的就是点燃年轻人的这把 “火”，为他们搭建一个鼓励跨学科合作，努力大胆探索，在失败中快速学习的环境，让他们找到让自己、让周边的人都非常兴奋的好问题，让他们眼睛发光，产生强大的内在驱动力。

University to cooperate with Professor Zexiang Li to develop entrepreneurship education

7 April: Professor Zexiang Li, Professor in Electronic and Computer Engineering, HKUST, Co-founder of DJI Technology Co. and President of the Ningbo TechX Institute (NTI), visited the University of Nottingham Ningbo China (UNNC) with an NTI delegation, seeking future collaboration opportunities to promote the development of entrepreneurship education. He delivered a public lecture on entrepreneurship and innovation, and granted one million RMB for two UNNC entrepreneur teams.

Professor Li and his delegation visited the laboratories and communicated with research fellows and students from the University’s Innovation Lab. In the subsequent seminar, he discussed his experiences and reflections on the development of university startups with University leaders. The two sides intend to cooperate in co-establishing a new innovative talent cultivation system through various entrepreneurship education practices including science and technology education and joint-training programmes.

“The development of entrepreneurship education needs support from both higher education institutes and enterprises,” Professor Li said. To this Professor Patrick Chau, Vice Provost for Research and Knowledge Exchange, strongly agreed. Professor Chau said that he looks forward to exploring the new path of entrepreneurship education at UNNC and establish a new ecosystem for entrepreneurship in collaboration with Professor Li.

Another point on the agenda of Professor Li’s visit was to donate a total of 1 million RMB in grants to two UNNC teams that stood out in the 2021 Entrepreneurial Winter Camp of Xbot Park. Xbot Park is a global startup incubator established by Professor Li that helps young people innovate and start businesses through various professional training provisions.

With the recommendation of the University’s Li Dak Sum Incubator, four UNNC teams participated and competed with students of Tsinghua University, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Harbin Institute of Technology and other universities, receiving a variety of awards. Two of the teams, working on smart cosmetic mirror and facial cleanser, respectively, received a grant of 500,000 RMB each.

Yifan Jia, a UNNC graduate and leader of the smart cosmetic mirror team, recalled that his learning at the Entrepreneurial Winter Camp taught him to constantly refine the concepts and polish the products. “It was a precious experience” he said.

In his lecture at UNNC, Professor Li also shared some key sectors for student innovation and entrepreneurship from understanding customer behaviour, defining the problem, designing and developing products, to systematic thinking.

As a renowned entrepreneur and experienced entrepreneurship mentor, he attracted a full attendance. “There are a number of qualities that a successful entrepreneur should have, such as curiosity, teamwork, and the ability to be proactive,” he summarised at the end.
