After a thorough review process, we were honored to select 12 world-class startup teams in the AI field from the 300 registered teams to participate in the final round at Stanford University. These projects span a variety of cutting-edge fields, including AI-driven clothing rental, molecular design, pet health monitoring, automatic generation of game highlight videos, and video creation tools, each with its unique features.
