Since the first corporate-sponsorship was launched at JI in 2010, more and more multinational companies have sponsored “custom” projects that follow their market trends. Of the 30 Capstone design projects, 14 are sponsored by leading enterprises such as VMware, United Imaging, CIML, BuilderX, and Mega Phase. The corporate-institute partnership creates a win-win outcome. Through the courses, exchanges and other effective means, JI stimulates students’ creative thinking and provides a multichannel and comprehensive platform for talent training and business cooperation.
