AI Extravaganza: Sany Group and Central South University AI Innovation Competiti
June 09,2026
On June 6th, the "AI Leading, Building Ecosystem" Artificial Intelligence Innovation Application Competition final, co-hosted by Sany Group and Central South University, was held at "Sanxiang Yipin" in Changsha. After 3 months of registration and selection, 6 top teams emerged from 134 registered teams nationwide to compete at the peak, with the "Ecology Technology - End-to-End Spatial Computing Generation" project ultimately winning the first prize.
Government, Industry, Education, and Research Guests Gather to Discuss AI Innovation
At the event, Fu Ganghua, Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee of Central South University, stated that artificial intelligence is profoundly changing production and lifestyle, and the country is vigorously promoting the "AI+" initiative. Central South University officially established the School of Artificial Intelligence on May 25, 2026, to cultivate high-level AI talents, which aligns closely with the philosophy of this competition, jointly promoting AI from the laboratory to the industry. He also thanked Sany Group and the organizing units for their efforts, looking forward to excellent projects taking root and injecting new vitality into the industrial ecosystem.
Yi Xiaogang, a director of Sany Group and a national outstanding engineer, said that the competition broke down barriers, gathering universities, research institutes, and technology companies nationwide to compete on the same stage, truly achieving a collision between student creativity, university research, and industrial technology. He emphasized that only by deeply integrating AI into the real economy can its value be truly released. As a leading enterprise in China's equipment manufacturing industry, Sany Group bears a mission, guided by the strategy of "three transformations," and is unwaveringly moving towards becoming an AI-native robotics company, responding to the national "AI+" initiative with innovative practices.
Wang Faping, Vice President of Sany Group and Deputy Dean of the Artificial Intelligence Institute, shared Sany's digital transformation practices and proposed the AI GDP formula: GDP = Computing Power × Data × Models, suggesting that enterprises focus on the collaborative improvement of these three elements to truly drive exponential growth. He said that every project on today's final stage is verifying this formula—AI's deep integration with industrial scenarios is making exponential growth move from theory to reality.
First Prize Goes to "Ecology Technology" - Winner List Announced
According to the on-site scoring results, the "Ecology Technology, End-to-End Spatial Computing Generation" project brought by Shenzhen Ecology Technology Co., Ltd. won the first prize. The project, guided by Academician Meng Jianmin and Professor Li Zengxiang of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, features a unique modal encoding technology that enables end-to-end generation of realistic and reasonable human habitat digital spaces, has been implemented in scenarios such as gaming, live broadcasting, e-commerce, and embodied brain, and has received nearly 100 million yuan in investment from several top institutions.

Promoting Innovation through Competition, Building a New AI Industry Ecosystem
The final competition site set up a project achievement exhibition area, attracting many investment institutions and representatives from upstream and downstream enterprises in the industry chain to stop and communicate. Many participating teams said that through the competition, they not only received precise guidance from experts but also reached preliminary cooperation intentions with Sany Group.
The competition has prepared generous incentives for the winning teams: a first prize of 131,000 yuan, a second prize of 83,100 yuan, a third prize of 53,100 yuan, and an outstanding award of 13,100 yuan each. Excellent projects will also have the opportunity to connect with the Sany Venture Capital Fund and the Science and Innovation Investment Fund with a total scale of 4 billion yuan, undertake real business orders exceeding 10 billion yuan, and enter Sany's 100 billion-level industrial chain resource pool, enjoying full-process incubation support from technology verification to commercialization.
"Innovate with AI, make the future visible." As the final competition comes to a successful end, a batch of excellent projects will leverage the industrial ecosystem platform built by Sany Group and Central South University to accelerate the transition from ideas to applications, injecting strong momentum into the deep integration of artificial intelligence and the real economy in China, promoting the construction of a new type of industrialization, and contributing innovative strength to achieving
