BACKGROUND
The 3rd BRICS Industry Ministers Meeting (Magaliesburg, July 2018) established the BRICS Partnership on New Industrial Revolution (PartNIR). The 10th BRICS Summit (Johannesburg, July 2018) decided to commence its full operationalization and set up the PartNIR Advisory Group. Upholding the BRICS spirit of openness, inclusiveness, and win-win cooperation and in line with the principle of extensive consultation, joint contribution, and shared benefits, the PartNIR aims to translate the vision of the second Golden Decade of BRICS Cooperation into reality through deepened BRICS cooperation in digitalization, industrialization, innovation, inclusiveness, and investment. The 11th BRICS Summit (Brasilia, November 2019), the 12th BRICS Summit (Moscow, November 2020), the 13th BRICS Summit (New Delhi, September 2021) and the 14th BRICS Summit (Beijing, Jun. 2022) all reaffirmed the commitments to advance the PartNIR.

The 1st PartNIR Advisory Group Meeting (Johannesburg, December 2018) initiated the implementation process of PartNIR, with the participation of members from industry, communications, and other relevant administrations in BRICS countries. The 2nd BRICS PartNIR Advisory Group Meeting (Brasilia, September 2019) agreed on the Work Plan of the PartNIR. The Advisory Group Meeting of 2022 amended the Work Plan based on the inputs of various stakeholders. The PartNIR members are encouraged to propose initiatives and host events to implement the PartNIR Work Plan.

In view of the above, China has hosted the Contests for two consecutive years from 2021 to 2022. With a focus on policy coordination and human resources development, the Contest aims to create a platform to demonstrate outstanding projects and promote fair competition and mutual learning among BRICS members, building an enabling environment for industrial innovation and talent exchange.
CONTENT
To further advance the PartNIR, and promote talent training and capacity building in the field of New Industrial Revolution, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) of the People’s Republic of China will continue to host the BRICS Industrial Innovation Contest 2023. Under the theme of “Deepening PartNIR Cooperation for New Industrialization”, the Contest has three different tracks: Industrial Internet, Intelligent Manufacturing, and Green Development, based on which submission of projects including industrial technologies, standards, solutions and products with outstanding innovation capabilities, application effects and market prospects will be collected from BRICS countries.
AWARDS
One first prize, two second prizes, three third prizes, and five new star prizes will be awarded in each of the three tracks of industrial interconnection, intelligent manufacturing, and green circulation, with certificates and bonuses awarded. The New Star Award comes from the Youth Innovation Program, with a youth age range of 18-35 years old. In addition, the competition also sets up several outstanding project awards and excellent organization awards, and issues honorary certificates.
