China Academy of Sciences Youth Entrepreneurship Competition (CAS-YVC, hereinafter referred to as "Competition") is an entrepreneurial competition held by China Academy of Sciences for college students all over the country. Relying on the strong technical strength and good reputation of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the contest aims to cultivate young people's awareness and ability of innovation and entrepreneurship, enrich the social value and significance of scientific and technological innovation and entrepreneurship, and ultimately promote scientific development and social and economic progress.

In 2005, the first Youth Entrepreneurship Competition of China Academy of Sciences was held with the theme of "Entrepreneurship, Starting from scratch". It not only marks the ice-breaking start of China Academy of Sciences' youth entrepreneurial activities, but also is a powerful exploration of the "knowledge innovation project" for the training of young talents. In the next four years, under the guidance and encouragement of Academician Lu Yongxiang, Vice Chairman of the National People's Congress Standing Committee (NPCSC) and President of China Academy of Sciences, China Academy of Sciences, in the spirit of continuous innovation and transcendence, cooperated with Huairou District Government and other local enterprises and institutions to successfully hold the second and third competitions. There are more than 200 teams from all over the country, and the number of people affected by the event exceeds 10,000.
