Maker Capital: Shenzhen is the paradise for entrepreneurs dreams

"What is a maker?"

"Makers are scientific and technological innovators from the people. In firewood, the makers use their spare time for 8 hours to conduct open exchanges and innovative collaboration."

"I hope the Prime Minister will become a honorary member of the firewood."

"Okay, I will add firewood to you again! Let more people enter the ranks of 'makers'!"

The dialogue on January 4, 2015 was the premier Li Keqiang of the State Council Li Keqiang in Shenzhen and Chaihu Maker Space partners who talked to innovation and creativity, and also made the word "maker" quickly "fire" all over the country.

The firewood is light, but the refracted maker culture and the spirit of innovation can ignite the dual -innovation boom in Shenzhen and even the whole country. Relying on the innovative ecological chain and strong industrial foundation, Shenzhen has also been hailed as "the capital of international makers" by makers at home and abroad.

Why is it Shenzhen?

32.5 years old, this is the average age of Shenzhen's permanent population in the latest census. As the youngest first -tier metropolis in China, the open tolerance, youth, creativity, and hard work of the city's blood is in line with the maker's temperament of dare to think, dare to try, dare to break, and dare to fight.

The continuously growing commercial subject is an important indicator of Shenzhen's dual venture activity. According to statistics, from 2019 to 2021, Shenzhen has accumulated a total of 3.277 million business entities, 3.586 million, and 3.804 million, respectively. As of the end of July this year, there were 3.835 million commercial subjects in the city, of which 2.391 million were enterprises, a year -on -year increase of 2.7%, and 1.444 million individual households, a year -on -year increase of 6.3%.

Looking at the nationwide double -setting territory, Shenzhen's performance is equally dazzling.

In October of the same year when the Prime Minister inspected the firewood space, the first "National Volkswagen Entrepreneurship Innovation Activity Week" was launched simultaneously at the main venue of Beijing and 7 branch venues such as Shenzhen and Shanghai. Tencent Open Technical College, firewood space, DJI technology drone and other 12 maker institutions and enterprises from Shenzhen entered the main venue. It is the largest number of cities in the country.

At the second National Double Innovation Week in the following year, Shenzhen became the main venue. Shenzhen has held activities such as Chinese and foreign maker leadership symposiums, global makers, and maker workshops. It integrates the concept of global innovation and entrepreneurship, and further highlights the strength of Shenzhen as a maker's capital.

The Ministry of Science and Technology announced the "National Innovation City Innovation Capability Monitoring Report 2021" earlier this year. The Shenzhen Innovation Capability Index is 85.17, ranking first in the country.

As of July this year, the Qianhai Shenzhen -Hong Kong Youth Dream Workshop, which has been called the "Dream Land" by many Hong Kong entrepreneurial youths, has incubated 601 entrepreneurial teams in Shenzhen and Hong Kong, including 331 Hong Kong teams.

These are the "face" of Shenzhen as a maker's capital.

Open "Face" to see "Lizi". As my country's first national independent innovation demonstration zone with the city as the basic unit, Shenzhen has rich innovative resources, superior innovative ecology and endless innovation driving force.

In 2015, Shenzhen took the lead in incorporating makers into the incubation and cultivation ecological chain, and introduced "Several measures to print and distribute the development of maker development (trial)". Broaden financing channels and other levels support makers.

After that, "Several Measures on Promoting Talent Priority Development", "Regulations on Science and Technology Innovation of Shenzhen Special Economic Zone", "Shenzhen Municipal People's Government's Implementation Opinions on Accelerating the cultivation of market entities" and other policies are all planted by Shenzhen Policy "Rain Forest".

In Shenzhen's annual science and technology plan projects, the direct -related special projects include maker exchange activities, entrepreneurial funding projects, application for innovation voucher, and Shenzhen technology enterprise incubator identification and funding.

In addition, Shenzhen also hosts International Maker Week and Shenzhen Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition to build an ecological chain of innovation, entrepreneurship, venture capital, and maker "four innovations".

If makers are the seeds of economic development, the city is the nursery that cultivates seeds. In this nursery, all kinds of incubators, accelerators, and crowd -invasive spaces are the key roles of helping makers grow up to "help the horse to send a journey".

In the list of 2021 national science and technology enterprise incubators released by the Ministry of Science and Technology, 4 Shenzhen incubators including Junxiang U8 Intelligent Manufacturing Incubator (comprehensive category), and Gathering Xinqiao 107 Chuangzhi Park (professional category) were on the list. So far, Shenzhen has 39 national technology companies incubators. It is understood that the number of national creation space in Shenzhen has also reached 124, making Shenzhen one of the core cities for the gathering and development of domestic entrepreneurial incubation carriers.

At the same time, various innovative carriers are also continuously output dual -innovation factor.

At present, Shenzhen has accumulated 6 national key laboratories, 4 Guangdong laboratory, 12 basic research institutions, and a total of more than 3,100 innovative carriers. It is worth noting that some new R & D institutions have a laboratory in the front -edge field of the new R & D institution, and the other end is connected to the market. The information transmitted by the latter becomes an important catalyst to guide the direction of innovation.

The Shenzhen Municipal Artificial Intelligence and Robotics Research Institute, located in Bantian, Longgang, has developed a large -span bridge super long cable maintenance robot for bridge testing pain points. Objective diseases are quickly detected and identified. At present, this robot has provided testing services for bridges and cables in many regions such as Chongqing, Zhejiang. Shenzhen is an entrepreneur

The vitality and creativity of makers have become the inexhaustible motivation of Shenzhen's economy.

With the entrepreneurial concept of "installing a pair of eyes that understand the world for the smart terminal", Huang Yuanhao chose to set up Obi Zhongguang Technology Co., Ltd. at the Shenzhen International Student Entrepreneurship Park in early 2013 after returning home overseas. He is committed to 3D. Development of visual and artificial intelligence direction.

"The technology I research can allow various smart machines in TV, mobile phone, robot, drone, smart home, smart security, and automobile driving assistance to the world like humans." Huang Yuanhao said.

In the first year of starting a business, Obi Zhongguang completed the first generation of product prototypes. In 2015, Obi Zhongguang completed the production and sales of 3D sensors independently designed, becoming the fourth company in the world after Apple, Microsoft, and Intel.

"Entrepreneurship and innovation are important for national nations. Entrepreneurship is the fastest way to learn and grow in personal ability. Shenzhen is a fertile soil suitable for entrepreneurship, including government business environment, pioneering beef pioneering spirit, mature industrial chain support, etc." This In October 2015, Huang Yuanhao, the representative of entrepreneurship, spoke at the Shenzhen branch of the first national mass entrepreneurial innovation activity week.

After that, Huang Yuanhao became more and more brave on the road of entrepreneurship. After combining the innovative results of technological research with the smart terminal, the latter was able to show his skills in the application scenarios such as biometrics, consumer electronics, and industrial three -dimensional measurement. In 2017, Alipay went online to brush the face payment function. Obi Zhongguang was the provider of the face brushing technology. After that, Obi Zhongguang took the lead in the application of 3D face recognition, 3D face payment on Android phones, and promoted 3D face recognition gate at the subway station. The company has also experienced multiple rounds of financing, which has attracted many investment institutions.

"The industrialization of hard nuclear technology requires stronger fixed force, more long -lasting endurance, and resonance with the upgrade and evolution of the industry. We believe that the more difficult things, the more worthwhile. Need, it is the mission and responsibility of contemporary technology people, and it will definitely create unlimited economic and social values. "This is the successful listing of Obi Zhongguang on July 7 this year. Huang Yuanhao's speech at the listing ceremony Essence

From entrepreneurship to landing in the GEM, Huang Yuanhao spent nearly 10 years. Two speeches highlight the same maker's heart.

"If you are metaphorized by Shenzhen, I think Shenzhen is the most struggling entrepreneur, dare to think, dare to break, and fight." Huang Yuanhao said.

Touch the future in "Broken"

Bold thoughts, courage to try, and not fear of failure often can touch the direction of future scientific and technological development in the middle of the way. The Shenzhen Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition ended on August 12, and a total of 7028 projects registered for the competition. This 10 -year -old event is an important vane of pulse technology innovation.

In June of this year, Shenzhen intensively launched the cultivation and development of 20 strategic emerging industrial clusters and 8 major future industries. The participating projects of the Shenzhen Innovation Tournament can reflect the latest changes in Shenzhen's industrial layout.

According to statistics, there are 2869 items involving software and information services, biomedicine, and new materials involving software and information services, biomedicine, and new materials; There are 607 items. The total number of "20+8" industrial projects reached 3476, accounting for 49%of the total number of applications.

At the International UAV show a week ago, I knew that future Intelligent Co., Ltd. showed an out -of -the -box "black technology". In the dark chamber of "extending the hand without seeing the five fingers", it applied its self -developed AI full -color night vision The lens of technology can realize the visual experience of full -color scene without any light, and the unique visual experience surprises the audience.

Knowing the future founder Zhang Qining is also a senior maker. In the past three years, he and his friends relying on the self -developed AI ISP technology to reduce the requirements of full color imaging from 0.1LUX to 0.0001LUX. In the weak light environment, from "seeing" to "seeing clear" the industry problem.

Zhang Qining revealed that the next step will establish in -depth cooperation with the research institutes of the Ministry of Public Security, the head enterprises of the industrial drone, and the global optical lens head enterprise to create a "AI infrastructure" for all visual sensors.

Throughout the experience of maker growth, you can feel the distinctive characteristics of Shenzhen's maker's capital, that is, innovation and entrepreneurship, entrepreneurship, and wealth. To achieve this, behind it is the support of "basic research+technology research+achievement of achievement+achievement of science and technology finance+talent support" to innovate the ecological chain, let innovation from a creative seed to rooting to germinate, thrive to grow into strong growth, and grow up to grow into strong growth into strong growth. Giant trees.

By 2035, an innovative and creative capital with global influence will be built. This is one of the development goals put forward in the "Opinions of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council of the Communist Party of China on Supporting Shenzhen's Pioneer Demonstration Zone with Chinese Characteristics."
