X-GAME 2026 Intelligent New Energy Vehicle Big Data Competition Finals Held in Jiading, Shanghai
The finals of the X-GAME 2026 Intelligent New Energy Vehicle Big Data Competition were held on October 30 in Jiading, Shanghai. Twenty teams stood out from more than 100 entries and presented their defenses using data models and AI algorithms around real-world scenarios such as sanitation vehicle range, road condition prediction, and fleet charging. Across the three tracks, this year's competition attracted nearly 1,000 registrations in total, covering 29 provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities across the country, 181 domestic universities, and 6 overseas universities. The "X-SEEK Smart Talent Direct Program" was also launched on site, with companies including GAC, BAIC, IM Motors, NIO, and Leapmotor setting up booths to recruit.

“Sanitation trucks sweep as they drive—how much power do they need to carry to be enough?” “Will the road ahead be congested? Can we try to predict it with data first?” “Looking at weather and mileage together, how do we estimate fleet recharging?” On October 30, at the final of the X-GAME 2026 Intelligent New Energy Vehicle Big Data Competition held in Jiading, Shanghai, “exam questions” drawn from real traffic scenarios were posed one after another, and 20 finalist teams took the stage in turn, meeting each challenge with data models and AI algorithms. As a Jiading sub-venue event of the 2026 Global Data Ecosystem Conference, this year’s competition brought together innovative forces from government, industry, academia, and research to jointly outline the future blueprint for the digital transformation of the new energy vehicle industry. The reporter learned from the organizers that both the scale of participation and the number of submitted works set new records for previous editions. The three major tracks attracted nearly 1,000 registrations in total, with participants covering 29 provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities across the country, bringing together 181 domestic higher education institutions and 6 overseas universities, 57 enterprises and institutions, and more than 50 individual makers. After strict review in the preliminary round, 20 outstanding teams stood out from more than 100 works to compete in the final. The atmosphere at the defense site was tense and lively. On the large screen, data models kept flashing and calculating: some teams worked out a detailed “electricity account” for sanitation operation vehicles, so that vehicles that sweep as they drive no longer have to worry about range; some teams tried to use data to predict road conditions ahead, installing a “clairvoyance” for intelligent driving; and other teams incorporated variables such as weather and mileage into algorithms to arrange optimal recharging plans for fleets. What these solutions target are precisely the “pain points” of industrial innovation in scientific research, traffic governance, vehicle operations, charging management, and battery safety. Judges on the panel asked questions frequently, contestants answered calmly, and the fierce competition drew rounds of applause. It was equally lively outside the competition venue. In the recruitment exhibition area, HR specialists from companies such as GAC Group, BAIC Group, IM Motors, NIO, and Leapmotor waited early. Many finalists came to inquire and negotiate with resumes in hand as soon as they stepped off the defense stage. With the official launch of the “X-SEEK Smart Talent Direct Program,” the competition platform is accelerating its transformation into a talent supply channel. During the awards session, batch after batch of winning teams took the stage to receive their awards, and the sound of camera shutters rose and fell. That day, the X-LABS Shanghai New Energy Vehicle (Jiading) Data Innovation Laboratory and the X-STAR open-call project were officially released, which will provide support in funding, algorithm models, data resources, and other areas for talent cultivation, project implementation, and achievement transformation. It is reported that next year will be the tenth year of the X-GAME competition. The organizers said they will further enhance the competition’s influence and help build a “world-class intelligent new energy vehicle data industry center.”
