National-level Competition Award Ceremony
It was the third time for UIC to participate in the competition. During the Guangdong provincial competition, UIC students captured two Grand Prizes, two First Prizes, four Second Prizes, two Awards of Entrepreneurship, three Awards of Originality and one Award of Innovation.
Bake App
Bake App is based on the notions of a “sharing economy” and a “gig economy”. It creates value by generating a baked community and baked e-commerce as main functions and utilizing Internet technology to integrate fragment resources in bakeries.
Bake App is now in the final testing phase and expected to be launched in August.
Team "Bake Partnership"
Lyu Zhaoji, a senior student of the Management of Human Resources Programme, is the leader of "Bake Partnership". Other team members are all Year Four students, including Zhou Haoyu (Marketing Management), Chen Liangyu (Applied Economics), Wang Boxiang (Finance), Gao Ming (Management of Human Resources), Ruan Sheng (Applied Economics), Gao Yuchao and Ma Chenyu (both Computer Science and Technology). With the love of food and baking as well as the dream of Internet start-ups, this team came true.
Belocal Cultural Traveling
“Lalala” team was created by Gu Liwen, Bi Yu, Fu Ying (Year Three, Finance) and He Yingtong (Year Three, Accounting). Guided by the multiple intelligences theory, the project provides services including cultural tourism, volunteer services, and traditional Chinese art traveling services according to the cultural characteristics of different countries and regions.

Currently, this team enables the project in their WeChat public account, while also is developing a mobile app to optimize customers’ traveling experience and make it more convenient for visitors.
Professor Stella Cho, Dean of the Division of Business and Management, was gratified by the students’ achievements. She encouraged more students to apply the knowledge and skills they learn at UIC as well as developing a holistic perspective when producing a project.
