Online track connecting female founders in Beijing with funding, workspace and policy support; competes for $8M+ global prize pool.
The listing describes the track as connecting female entrepreneurs with policy support, workspace, funding and industry resources to build and grow in Beijing. The stated draw is the competition itself: participants compete for a share of an $8M+ global finals prize pool. The listing points to EXPLOREITEC.COM as the event's url. Beyond those points, it gives no agenda, no named speakers or judges, no session list, and no description of what happens at the 10:00am start.
One access instruction is published: "Scan QR code on poster to apply." The listing does not say which app reads the code, so whether WeChat is required is not stated. It also does not say whether a Chinese mobile number is needed to register, whether real-name verification applies, or whether applicants based outside China — or travellers in Beijing on a short stay — are eligible to enter. If any of that matters to you, the listing does not answer it, and the only published channel for asking is the organisers' own site.
The application deadline is given as 15 September, the same date as the event itself. The listing does not explain how a same-day deadline and start time relate to each other, or whether applications close before or after the 10:00am start.
No entry price or application fee is given, and the listing does not state that participation is free — the cost is simply not published. There is no separate public or observer option announced: nothing in the listing indicates whether people who are not applying as founders can attend, watch or register. The event is listed as online with no venue, so no address, joining link or platform is provided, and no information is given on whether the platform is accessible from outside China. The listing carries "Editor's Pick" and "Family Friendly Event" tags, but no explanation of either. Anything not stated above should be treated as unannounced rather than assumed.
This entry was compiled automatically from the organiser's own page and every date in it was checked back against that page before publishing. Nobody from our team has been to this one, and we have not called the organisers — where they have not published something, this page says so rather than filling the gap.
Status: Listed as Online with no venue; start time 10:00 am on Sep 15, which the text also gives as the application deadline — unclear whether Sep 15 is the event date or only the deadline. No end date, no organizer, no Chinese name in the text. Tier field was not included in the requested output schema; this is a local-tier item (city-based networking event for people already in Beijing). Access inferred from 'Scan QR code on poster to apply'; url listed as EXPLOREITEC.COM.
