BACKGROUND
The 3rd BRICS Industry Ministers Meeting (July 2018) established the BRICS Partnership on New Industrial Revolution (PartNIR). The 10th BRICS Summit 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), the 14th BRICS Summit (Beijing, June 2022) and the 15th BRICS Summit (Johannesburg, October 2023) all reaffirmed the commitments to advance the PartNIR. The year of 2024 has witnessed historic BRICS expansion. The growing influence of the BRICS cooperation mechanism provides a broader space for advancing the BRICS 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 actively implemented the Work Plan, hosting the Contests for three consecutive years from 2021 to 2023. With a focus on policy coordination and human resources development, the Contest aims to create an effective 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 promote the PartNIR, personnel training and capacity building in the field of new industrial revolution, we will continue to launch the BRICS Industrial Innovation Contest 2024 in May 2024. Themed “Working Together to Build High-quality Partnerships and Embark on a New Journey of New Industrialization Cooperation”, the Contest will set up five tracks: “Artificial Intelligence—Large Language Models”, “Intelligent Manufacturing—Intelligent Equipment”, “Green Industries—Low-carbon Technologies and Applications”, “Low-altitude Economy—General Aviation” and “Energy Electronics—Photovoltaics and New Energy Storage”, to collect industrial products , applications, standards, and technologies with outstanding innovation features, excellent application effects, and considerable market prospects from BRICS countries.
AWARDS
Each of the five tracks will set one First Prize, two Second Prizes and three Third Prizes, awarding certificates and bonuses to the winners. In addition, there will be Outstanding Project and Outstanding Organization Prizes with certificates. The winning projects will be awarded during the BRICS Forum on Partnership on New Industrial Revolution in September 2024.

INSTRUCTIONS
  • Track 1
    Artificial Intelligence—Large Language Models
    This track focuses on gathering innovative projects which integrates new information technologies like AI large language models into industries, as well as solutions to enhance production capacity and optimise operational efficiency, focusing on the cutting-edge technologies and popular applications in the field of AI, such as machine learning, deep learning, image recognition, natural language processing, etc., and revolving around the current trend of evolution of large model technologies and characteristics of industrial applications.
  • Track 2
    Intelligent Manufacturing—Intelligent Equipment
    This track focuses on collecting advanced technologies, equipment, standards and solutions in the field of intelligent equipment, oriented to equipment, units, workshops, factories and other manufacturing carriers, focusing on the integration and innovation of new information technologies and advanced manufacturing technologies, revolving around process innovation, equipment upgrading, management optimisation and production process intelligence.
  • Track 3
    Green Industries—Low Carbon Technologies and Applications
    The track aims to collect green and low-carbon technology applications in the manufacturing industry and typical cases of green product design and development. The focus is on the direction of low-carbon, recycling and intensive development and it revolves around the construction of a green and low-carbon technology innovation system with carbon-neutral orientation, synergistically promoting carbon reduction, pollution reduction, green expansion and growth.
  • Track 4
    Low Altitude Industries—General Aviation

    The track focuses on the collection of general aviation (including unmanned aerial vehicles) related technologies, products, services, modes and applications and other innovative projects, focusing on the development needs and key issues of low-altitude economy, revolving around the research of low-altitude manufacturing, low-altitude flight, low-altitude security, comprehensive services and other major areas.
  • Track 5
    Energy Electronics-Photovoltaics and New Energy Storage

    The track focuses on gathering innovative projects on technologies, products, modes and applications for energy production, energy services and energy applications, focusing on the in-depth integration of electronic information technology and new energy demand, and centred on solar photovoltaics, new energy storage products, key end-use applications, key information technology and other major fields.
Organizational Structure

  • Organising Committee

    The Organising Committee of the Contest is responsible for coordinating and guiding the overall arrangements and preparation of the Contest, and is composed of relevant responsible comrades of the organisers and the contractors. The organising committee sets up a secretariat to carry out the organisation and implementation work, which is located in the International Economic and Technological Cooperation Centre of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.

  • Expert Review Committee

    It consists of authoritative experts from research institutes, universities, industrial organisations and other relevant fields in BRICS countries, responsible for finalising the evaluation rules and carrying out project review.
