Against the backdrop of the accelerated development of new quality productive forces, chemistry, as a fundamental discipline and a key area intersecting with emerging technologies, faces new challenges in talent cultivation. This paper focuses on chemistry-related science and technology competitions for university students, analyzing the core requirements of new quality productive forces for chemistry talents and examining existing issues in current competition cultivation models, including competition systems, industry-education integration, faculty development, and incentive mechanisms. By incorporating practical cases in green chemistry and new material development, this study proposes optimization strategies such as constructing competition systems aligned with the demands of new quality productive forces, deepening industry-education integration in chemistry, strengthening faculty development in chemistry disciplines, and improving incentive mechanisms for chemistry competitions. The aim is to enhance the educational effectiveness of chemistry-related competitions and provide pathway references for cultivating innovative chemistry talents in universities that meet the needs of new quality productive forces.
