From October 12 to 15, the Grand Final of the 2024 China International College Students' Innovation Competition was held in Shanghai.

Additionally, the World University Student Innovation Alliance was founded, further promoting collaboration in student innovation on an international scale.

The competition featured several tracks, including the Main Higher Education Track, the "Youth Red Dream Journey" Track, the Vocational Education Track, the Industrial Proposition Track, and the Emerging Track. A key focus was on integrating education, science, and talent, with the Industrial Proposition Track emphasising "industry-education integration," which promoted collaboration between universities and industries to commercialise innovative achievements.
