Chinese startup blast furnace `Shenzhen`

The industry of China`s blast furnace business, where new industries and talent are pouring, is rolling on two axes of IT (information technology) and hardware (hardware and manufacturing). The key is the SW & IT ecosystem, represented by the HW ecosystem and the Nanshan software industry base, which are represented by the Huangchang Bay electronics market. An official from Shenzhen said, "The IT and HW industry ecosystem has been established. It is the place where ideas can be planned and systematic support for entrepreneurship is promoted." "Because of these strengths, "It`s a low figure." Manufacturing and IT are both competitive ecosystems.

◇ Success Stories to Raise Confidence in Establishment = In fact, there are a number of IT companies such as Alibaba, Tencent, Baidu, and JD.com, as well as headquarters or major branches of manufacturing companies such as Huawei and Xiaomi. It is a great motivation for start-ups and founders to watch the successful models as well as being able to receive start-up support through the accelerators they operate.

Meanwhile, thanks to these strengths, there is a lot of talent in Shenzhen that attracts people from other parts of China. In the past, many people in the United States, such as the `gold rush`, who dreamed of making money and went to the west of the US.

In particular, Shenzhen is a city younger than the average age of 30s, and more than four out of five citizens of Shenzhen are from other provinces.

Venture capital (VC) and accelerators located in other cities such as Beijing and Shanghai, where more than 100 accelerators are included, are attracting interest and active investment, making it difficult for entrepreneurs to open their businesses. It is clear that there is a synergy between a strong IT and manufacturing industry ecosystem and the entrepreneurs who are armed with the spirit of `can do`, and HW founders.

◇ Innovative blast furnace "Huangchang bay electronics shop" = "There is nothing in Huangchang bay electronics shop. Camera, smart phone, drone, mini robot and electric wheel etc. can also be seen."

A HW company representative from China Shenzhen stated. The actual Huangchang Bay electronics store was like that. In the past, it was an enlarged version of Yongsan electronics store that sold major electronic products as well as parts. It is about 4 ~ 5 times bigger than Yongsan and it has 7 ~ 12 floors of electronic shops. On the first floor, there are shops selling finished products that sell smartphones, CCTVs, drones, and electric wheels, as well as stores selling various parts and products such as screws, sensors, motors, and packaging containers. There were dozens and dozens of drone shops and a specialty store with various 3D printers.

Merchants explain that 10 lanes that crossed the Huangchang Bay electronic shopping center are being replaced by pedestrian roads, making the commercial area more active. "I had to wait for the number to get in at the electronic shop in the past," said Hendrick Warner, a co-president of the Hendrick Warner Troublemaker, who met at the mall. "I was also able to get 500,000 yuan (85 million won) Currently, there are about 25 stores in each building, and about 1,000 stores in total, with about 25,000 stores in total.

"Parts stores have their own factories around Guangzhou and Shenzhen," Hendrick said. "There are at least a few thousand to twenty thousand factories in Huangchang Bay."

◇ "Make whatever you order" = An industrial complex located at the end of the border, which was closed more than 20 years ago. Since the Chinese government`s government reform policy, the electronics industry is naturally settled as the factories are exported to Guangzhou. Thing. For example, in the case of a screw shop, it has dozens of screws and also makes it custom-built at the factory if needed. Shenzhen HW Accelerators are the driving force for creating anything from these factories and stores. Trouble maker that Hendrik is co-representative is HW accelerator of Hwangchang bay and operates maker space in China, Germany, Switzerland, Australia and Myanmar. The Dutchman Hendrik has set up a trouble maker in 2016 to see the development of the propaganda HW ecosystem and to link it to Hong Kong and Guangzhou. In Shenzhen, we are supporting foreign HW start-ups with Hwang Chang, a real estate company that owns about half of Huangchang Bay electronics stores. It has four plants in the Long River, and it has a system to support start-up prototyping as well as small-scale processing.

Hendrik pointed out, "There are many more merchants out there with more vacancies, but the Huangchang Bay electronic shopping center, which has a one-stop infrastructure that can package and sell products, is a solid foundation for the propaganda HW ecosystem."
