Taipei---Based on digital transformation to develop smart logistics and digital finance, and to effectively apply big data for innovative development, China Post has organized the " 2024 Postal Big Data Competition" and held a launch press conference on July 29 , 2024 , with a total prize of NT $ 1.2 million. This competition uses Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud technology, with the assistance of experts and scholars from the Asia-Pacific Marketing Digital Transformation Alliance and partial sponsorship of prizes from EY Information . Students from universities and colleges across the country are invited to form teams to participate, hoping to increase the social influence of the postal brand in the minds of young people, obtain proposals full of creative and innovative technologies, and then put them into practical use, moving towards a new model of digital post office.

The theme of the competition is " AI Post Office Innovation". Team registration is open from August 1 to October 7. Each team consists of 2 to 4 students from colleges and universities nationwide , and a professor is invited to lead the team. The team submits works on the two major themes of postal services and remittances. The competition is divided into preliminary rounds, semi-finals and finals. At each stage, the participants' innovative proposals are judged based on their practicality and feasibility. During the semi-finals and finals, more than 10 industry experts and scholars, including experts in AI big data, AI artificial intelligence, smart logistics, digital finance, and innovation, were invited to assist in coaching and training. The finals provided face-to-face discussions and practical opportunities with industry experts, which not only helped students enrich their works and stimulate creative exchanges between industry and academia, but also enabled them to learn valuable practical experience outside the classroom. This was a rare opportunity.

China Post said that with the rapid growth of AI technology in recent years, more new technologies and tools for big data analysis have been exposed. It hopes that participants can apply emerging AI technologies to explore the potential value of postal data, gain insight into customer needs through data, improve operational performance and optimize customer experience, and provide services that meet customer expectations. The prize money for this competition is quite generous, including a first prize of NT$ 300,000 , a second prize of NT$ 200,000 , and a third prize of NT $ 150,000 . In addition, there are multiple awards such as the Best Application Award, the Best Creativity Award, and the Excellence Award. The innovative solutions of the winning teams have the opportunity to be transformed into practical applications, injecting new vitality into the postal industry.
