Abstract: Against the backdrop of the nation's vigorous promotion of integrating innovation and entrepreneurship education reform with regional economic development strategies, college entrepreneurship competitions have become a vital link connecting university talent cultivation with market demands. As an integral part of higher education, the participation level of private undergraduate institutions in Hainan in such competitions directly impacts the quality of applied talent cultivation and the efficiency of talent supply for the construction of the Free Trade Port. This paper focuses on Hainan's private undergraduate institutions, systematically reviewing domestic universities' practices in organizing entrepreneurship competitions, building educational systems, and commercializing outcomes. It analyzes the current challenges these institutions face in competition participation—including inadequate resource allocation, insufficient faculty support, low project localization, and limited evaluation and incentive mechanisms—while considering their institutional positioning and regional characteristics. From four dimensions—policy alignment and resource integration, faculty development, project incubation and outcome transformation, and evaluation incentive optimization—it proposes strategies tailored to Hainan's private undergraduate institutions for building an entrepreneurial competition participation system. This aims to provide practical pathways for institutions to enhance their entrepreneurial education ecosystems and elevate students' innovation and entrepreneurship capabilities, thereby supporting the cultivation of localized innovation and entrepreneurship talent within the context of Hainan Free Trade Port development.
