Oyu AI Receives an Excellence Award at the 2026 SCO Youth Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition

Oyu Intelligence represented Mongolia at the fifth SCO Member States Youth Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition with Oyu AI, advancing through an international selection process to the final in Qingdao, China.

From 230 Projects to 20 Finalists

The competition organized seven overseas qualifying regions—Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Pakistan, and Mongolia—alongside three regions in China: the Yangtze River Delta, Northwest China, and the Guangdong–Hong Kong–Macao Greater Bay Area.

Across those ten regions, 230 projects participated in preliminary pitches and evaluations. Only 20 projects from eight countries advanced to the June 28 final, with overseas projects accounting for 70% of the finalist group. The selected projects covered artificial intelligence, the digital economy, new energy, biomedicine, advanced materials, and modern agriculture.

How the International Final Worked

Each finalist completed an eight-minute project presentation followed by a four-minute question-and-answer session. The international judging committee included academicians, technology and industry specialists, university experts, and innovation-park leaders from multiple countries.

Projects were evaluated on their core technology, business model, market potential, practical value, and capacity for international cooperation. This gave every team an opportunity to explain both its technical work and how the solution could create value across different markets.

What Oyu AI Presented

The award certificate identifies the project as “Oyu AI – No-Code Full-Process Intelligent Data Processing and Visualization Analysis Platform.” The platform is designed to help users move from data processing to analysis and visualization without having to build every workflow through code.

At the final, our team introduced the platform’s technology, product direction, business model, market opportunity, and potential for international collaboration. Presenting alongside projects from across the SCO region also provided valuable exposure to different industries, use cases, and approaches to commercialization.

The broader finals program extended beyond the competition itself. It included online project matchmaking and a five-day innovation and entrepreneurship camp covering business-model design, China’s innovation policy environment, cross-border cooperation channels, international marketing, research commercialization, and intellectual-property protection.

Oyu AI Receives an Excellence Award

The award ceremony took place on June 29 during the inaugural China–SCO Science and Technology Innovation Cooperation Conference. The final results included one first prize, two second prizes, three third prizes, and 14 Excellence Awards.

Oyu AI received one of the Excellence Awards. The certificate and trophy recognize the project’s performance at the international final and mark an important milestone for our team.

What This Recognition Means

For Oyu Intelligence, the award demonstrates that a technology project developed in Mongolia can earn recognition on an international stage. It also gives our team expert feedback, wider regional visibility, and stronger motivation to keep developing practical AI products for international markets.

We thank the organizers, judges, partners, and everyone who supported our participation.
