由教育部、科技部共同主办的第三届“春晖杯”中国留学人员创新创业大赛于2008年4月28日在北京召开了新闻发布会，宣布第三届创业大赛正式开始报名，报名时间为2008年4月28日至7月28日。即日起报名者可登录“中国留学网（www.cscse.edu.cn, www.cscse.com.cn）”在线报名。

第三届“春晖杯”创业大赛的承办单位是教育部留学服务中心、科技部火炬中心、中国留学人员广州科技交流会组委会办公室、大连高新技术产业园区管委会；协办单位由北京、上海、广州、大连、苏州、西安、威海、昆山、东莞等9个城市的12家留学人员创业园，以及IDGVC技术创业投资基金、欧美同学会商会、神州学人编辑部等单位组成。中国驻外使（领）馆教育处（组），海外留学人员联谊会、协会、学会等社团组织为大赛支持单位。

教育部国际司司长助理张宁在新闻发布会上说，教育部于2007年3月发布的《关于进一步加强引进海外优秀留学人才工作的若干意见》中明确指出：为贯彻落实《国家中长期科学和技术发展规划纲要（2006－2020年）》，加快推进科教兴国战略和人才强国战略，教育部与科技部共同定期举办“春晖杯”中国留学人员创新创业大赛活动。希望通过“春晖杯”创业大赛，充分调动海外优秀留学人员回国创业热情，鼓励海外留学人员积极申报创新创业项目，创造条件支持参赛者与留学人员创业园、大学科技园和企业进行项目对接，推动留学人员回国创办高新技术企业。在前两届创业大赛成功举办的基础上，期待着第三届“春晖杯”中国留学人员创新创业大赛将发掘出更多的优秀人才和创新项目，培育更多的成功企业。

科技部火炬中心党委书记张序国表示，科技部火炬中心将结合科技型中小企业创新基金的国家政策工具，在创业项目中对孵化器内获奖的“春晖杯”大赛企业，优先给予资金倾斜，并积极倡导“中国火炬创业导师”对留学生创业企业给予义务辅导扶植。

教育部（中国）留学服务中心副主任邵巍说，举办“春晖杯”创业大赛，是为了更好地配合国家实施人才强国战略和自主创新战略，吸引留学人才特别是高层次留学人才回国工作的一项积极措施，是“鼓励回国”的一项重要内容，是建设创新型国家、增强我国自主创新能力的必然要求。邵巍介绍说，前两届“春晖杯”创业大赛已经孕育出许多可喜的成果，大赛工作的内涵和外延也随之不断充实和拓展。实践证明，“春晖杯”创业大赛是一个政府搭台、相关部门通力协作，留学人员、专家、机构、企业唱戏的成功案例，也是我们进一步贯彻落实党和国家的留学政策，为留学人员回国工作和为国服务搭建平台、开通渠道的一个重要实践。

迄今为止，很多“春晖杯”创业大赛的获奖项目已落户国内，结出了累累硕果。据不完全统计，2006年首届“春晖杯”创业大赛的163个入围项目当中已有54人的项目开始在国内启动或进一步发展。其中有26个项目在留学人员创业园正式注册创办公司，其余28个项目与国内的企业和科研院所开展了多种形式的合作，有2个项目获得国家“863”重点项目支持，有4个项目获得科技部科技型中小企业创新基金支持，有3个项目获得江苏省优秀领军人才计划支持。2007年第二届“春晖杯”创业大赛的172个入围项目当中也有23个项目已在国内落地启动或进一步发展，其中有10个项目入驻国内留学人员创业园，还有1个项目获得江苏省优秀领军人才计划支持。

2008年第三届“春晖杯”创业大赛将在总结前两届大赛经验的基础上，努力为留学人员回国创业搭建更为宽广的项目对接平台，提供更好的服务。“春晖杯”创业大赛期待着更多的海外留学人员关注和参与。
