Discovery China

Join the QLabs - China Virtual Incubator: Designing Solutions for Impact 

Welcome to the QLabs China Virtual Incubator, an exclusive initiative for high school students across China, delivered by UQ Ventures and proudly presented in collaboration with Trade and Investment Queensland. 

QLabs China is a certified, five-module online entrepreneurship challenge designed to foster innovation, creativity, and entrepreneurial thinking in high school students. Delivered over consecutive weeks, the program provides a comprehensive understanding of the end-to-end entrepreneurial journey - from entrepreneurial intelligence and problem discovery to solution development and pitching.

Students will work in teams to design a technology-enabled product or service that addresses a real-world problem. Throughout the program, teams will test their ideas, refine their solutions based on feedback, and develop the confidence to present their innovation to an expert judging panel during the final Pitch Event.

Our primary goal is to cultivate an entrepreneurial mindset in high school students by immersing them in real-world challenges. All workshops are delivered using an experiential learning approach, leveraging UQ’s world-renowned research excellence and entrepreneurship ecosystem.
