She founded the park in 2014 with a complete service line from seeding to incubators and accelerators. Last year it has realized total output value of 2 billion yuan and successfully incubated more than 320 startup projects.
She admitted Shenzhen's overall international environment is not at the same level of Shanghai and Beijing, where many Fortune 500 companies are located, but it definitely stands out in terms of makers' international level.
Foreign businessmen, makers and service providers come to the city because they want to be involved in the burgeoning new economy, she noted.
MIT's Fab Lab established an office in the Park in 2015. "One of its aims is to help international makers and startups find partners in Shenzhen to make prototype and even mass production," she said.
The entrepreneurship-promoter said the production ability is one of Shenzhen's biggest attractions for international makers. The Fab Lab will open the world's first Fab-factory in May.
But more importantly, its industry development direction is in line with what international pioneers are focusing on, such as wearable devices, drones and robots.
It has also attracted a dozen of world famous designers to provide industrial design for international and local makers' ideas.
A top crowdfunding platform, Indiegogo, has also teamed up with the Park and believes the startup projects in the Park are suitable for the individual investors at their platform.
