Beijing or Shenzhen? East China is in the smart hardware tide reverse!

Once in a science and technology website to see an analysis of Beijing or Shenzhen, which city is the ultimate intelligent hardware. At that time I was also involved in the discussion of this article, that the smart hardware in China is basically focused on these two. But after a long period of observation, found that Shanghai as the center of East China as the domestic hardware of the new forces are slowly rising, there is the potential of reverse attack.

First of all, I also summed up the characteristics of the East China team

1, compared to the Shenzhen team to understand the dissemination and internet thinking, compared to the Beijing team to understand manufacturing and supply chain management, can achieve both balance. At present, the best product in the roll call time, the team is in Hangzhou, and can do not jump ticket.

2, the product of industrial design is very fastidious, the same type of products generally look better. Beijing and Shenzhen are inferior to east China in industrial design. This is because Shanghai has a large number of domestic and foreign top industrial design institutions and talent.

3, more international. Contact with a number of East China's team, many from the outset to plan on Kickstarter, Indiegogo, and so on, the main concept of internationalization, the project after the returnees will bring value-added products. What is more, Shanghai and other regions can attract foreign teams to start a business. Recently as the judges participated in Shanghai IDG held the science and technology 50 intelligent Hardware Entrepreneurship competition, 20 entries have five of the team, the United States, Britain, Argentina have.

Regional configuration is perfect, design is the strength

East China in the manufacturing and supply chain does not lose Shenzhen, and this private capital dominated by the region, but also to ensure that enterprises have a good entrepreneurial environment, marketing tools and media communication operation is not to lose Beijing, it should be said that the East China team in marketing and production between the good balance. As for the geographical and historical reasons, so that Shanghai and other east China has been in line with the world's fastest, plus the FTA policy, can provide many opportunities for the entrepreneurial team to go to sea.

In addition, the East China has gathered a large number of key universities, Zhejiang University, Tongji, Shanghai Jiao Tong, South Mail and so on in the machinery, design, communications and other fields to provide a large number of outstanding talents. And the region's private economy developed, people's entrepreneurial awareness is very strong, for the formation of the initial team of entrepreneurship is very beneficial.

And Shanghai as China's fashion capital, in this area concentrated a large number of design institutions and excellent domestic and foreign designers, can make intelligent hardware one of the most external areas-industrial and design has been greatly improved. For example, I know a Shanghai wearable equipment team, their products have been Kickstarter, but also ready to go to New York Fashion Week, the product is the main fashion and design.

The Giants are in the layout, the government is supporting

When it comes to the Internet giants in East China, Ali is preferred. Since this year Ali has actually been in the smart hardware industry a lot of action. Including with the Qing branch jointly released the first thing networking operating system, open things networking platform, set up Taobao public and so on.

And another giant Haier and Shanghai IDG cooperation set up "CIE Smart hardware big chain alliance", investment billion funds, specialized in Shanghai to support intelligent hardware start-ups and create customers. At present, Haier and IDG have set up incubation base and accelerator in Shanghai, hold a series of hardware entrepreneurial activities and competitions, from the five important links of hardware entrepreneurship, that is, creativity, research and development, manufacturing, marketing, services to provide venues, laws, taxes, and even funds of one-stop service. According to the CIE head of IDG's Jiang General revealed that the next will join the "CIE Smart hardware big chain" Enterprise is an international top chip manufacturers and the forefront of the domestic electric business enterprises, to provide upstream chip support and sales channel support. The project was supported by the Shanghai municipal government.

There are TCL in Shanghai to set up a wearable product research and development team, Jingdong and 360 invested in Hangzhou Boardlink and so on, visible in imperceptible, the Giants have been through a variety of ways in East China layout. In addition, the strong support of Shanghai and other municipal governments is also conducive to the rise of East China hardware start-up team.

It's written in the back.

East China also has a lot of natural advantages, such as Shanghai is a domestic financial center, East China's private capital, strong international trade and so on, these are very beneficial to the hardware entrepreneurial team, I believe that in the future in east China will have more hardware team rise.

The controversy over Beijing, Shenzhen or Shanghai does not really make sense, this article aims to give everyone a new understanding of the hardware entrepreneurial conditions in east China, to understand its advantages.
