The events include complimentary online classes via the 5G IN Academy, closed-door business matching sessions for 5G IN investor partners and start-ups. We are additionally proud to introduce the inaugural 5G IN Award that looks for the most innovative start-ups in China, which will be decided by a senior panel of academia, investors and industry executives.
