Shenzhen Maker Week kicks off




THE seven-day National Mass Entrepreneurship and Innovation Week 2018 Shenzhen Venue and Fourth Shenzhen Maker Week kicked off at the Sea World Culture and Arts Center in Shekou in Nanshan District yesterday.


As an international platform showcasing entrepreneurship and innovation with Shenzhen characteristics, the 2018 Shenzhen Maker Week aims to feature cutting-edge technologies, connect maker projects and stimulate enthusiasm for innovation through diverse modes, such as interactive performances, a maker competition, themed forums, workshops and Maker Faire.


There will be a total of 20 major events held across the city during the Maker Week, providing innovative activities to makers from home and abroad. The main venue is the Sea World Culture and Arts Center, where the Maker Faire is being held.


Themed "Co-making in the City," the Maker Faire showcases more than 1,000 creative projects from around the world and the latest innovations in open source hardware, robotics, 3-D printing and other fields.


Zachary Hany, a maker from the United States, has attended the Maker Faire for four consecutive years. "As a maker, if you have any ideas or want to create new things, you should come to Shenzhen. Because in Shenzhen, you can do it right away and can find factories to make it happen," said Hany.


Additionally, the Maker Faire features 12 artistic maker installations and more than 20 workshops in education, fashion, technology, music, virtual reality and beyond.
Massimo Banzi, co-founder of maker platform Arduino, Eric Pan, founder of Chaihuo Maker Space, and Shenzhen Vice Mayor Wang Lixin gave speeches at the opening ceremony.


"A lot of innovations are happening here in Shenzhen," said Banzi. According to him, Shenzhen is often called the "Silicon Valley of Hardware" because of its manufacturing advantages. It is also the birthplace of some of China's most famous technology firms.


"I think the global maker community needs to be more in touch, and Maker Week sends a strong message that inspires companies and makers to connect and have a more positive impact on the world," said Banzi.


"As a senior maker and entrepreneur, I have witnessed that the city has placed much importance on recruiting talents and optimizing the business environment," said Pan. At present, Chaihuo Maker Space has more than 6,000 members from over 20 countries and regions.


According to Wang, in addition to improving the construction of scientific research institutions and science and technology infrastructure, Shenzhen has also provided subsidies and funds to help cultivate innovative companies. In 2017, the Shenzhen government granted over 4 billion yuan (US$578 million) in subsidies to innovative enterprises, Wang said.


Shenzhen Maker Week was first launched as an annual event in 2015 and is an important part of the National Mass Entrepreneurship and Innovation Week.

"Shenzhen’s Strength" Among the Fortune Global 500 to Continue Growing








The 2018 Fortune Global 500 list has just been released and includes seven companies from Shenzhen: Ping An, Hua Wei, Amer International, China Merchants Bank,Evergrande, Tencent and Vanke. Their rankings have risen significantly compared with previous years together with how highly they're valued.



  The Fortune Global 500, which is released annually, mirrors the global economic landscape. Looking at the total number of companies on the list, 120 are Chinese enterprises, ranking them second only to the companies from the United States with 126, a fact that fits with the China’s position as the world's second largest economy. For the last 15 years the number of Chinese enterprises on this list has continued to increase, indicating that momentum is gathering as they grow bigger and bigger. However, “being stronger” doesn’t necessarily come with “being bigger." There are still big gaps in large Chinese enterprises in terms of institutional mechanisms, innovation, personnel training, brand influence and internationalization, when compared with top international enterprises. Looking at two indicators (return on sales and return on net assets) that can better judge a company’s performance, the overall condition of Chinese enterprises on the list is not optimistic: their performance indicators are slightly lower than average and are going down -- a situation that must be seriously addressed.


  The economist Paul Anthony Samuelson said in his famous book Economics that "In the United States, business is about enterprise", which shows the importance of enterprises to a country. The report to the 19th CPC National Congress clearly stated that "Fostering world-leading enterprises with international competitiveness” means we must train our companies to be bigger and stronger, thereby accelerating the construction of a modern economic system and promoting high-quality economy development.


  We may observe China from many perspectives, and the development of enterprises is one of the indispensable factors. Some have summed up the Chinese economy over the past 40 years of reform and opening up in three main phrases: first, a big and strong state-owned economy, for example in Beijing; second, introduction of foreign capital, for example in Shanghai; third, prosperity of private economy, for example in Shenzhen. It’s just as the saying goes: “State-owned enterprises prosper in Beijing, foreign enterprises in Shanghai, private enterprises in Shenzhen.”



  With its big market and fast-paced growth, it's not difficult for China to attract world-class multinational companies or cultivate world-class state-owned enterprises. However, the task of cultivating world-class local private enterprises in a short time is extremely difficult. One of the most successful and unique things achieved by the Shenzhen SEZ since its establishment 38 years ago is the independent nurturing of a number of world-class local private enterprises, and the entrepreneurial spirit has become a distinctive part of the city’s DNA. Of the seven companies on the list, except Evergrande, six are native to Shenzhen and have tremendous influence in China and a strong presence on the international stage.


  The number of Fortune Global 500 companies that are based in a city can be very important, making its structure and benefits even more appealing. Among the seven Shenzhen-headquartered Fortune Global 500 companies, there are two financial companies, two real estate developers, one communications equipment manufacturer, one non-ferrous metals manufacturer and one Internet company. These all fall within the scope of modern services, high technology and strategic emerging industries, which reflects the rationality of Shenzhen's economic and industrial structure. Of those Chinese companies listed, Ping An ranks 7th, and also boasts the highest revenue among non-state-owned enterprises; Tencent, with a profit margin of more than 30%, is the most profitable enterprise. They form a microcosm of the development quality and efficiency of Shenzhen enterprises.


  Instead of trees standing alone one by one, world-class companies should result from the same ecosystem. Shenzhen's urban atmosphere, business vitality, public services and innovative entrepreneurship provide a fertile space in which companies can thrive. Shenzhen takes pride in its success in striving forward amid intense market competition while turning out large world-class enterprises and numerous small enterprises that make up an innovative and competitive “echelon”. This also serves as the strongest momentum that drives it forward.


  Big enterprises are the cornerstone of industrial development and can lead and drive a number of supporting industries and enterprises to form a powerful driving force for industrial progress. As early as three years ago, Shenzhen promised that it would have 8 to 10 local enterprises listed on the Fortune Global 500 by 2020, with its urban competitiveness ranking among the best in the world. To this end, in the Several Measures to Help Enterprises Enhance Competitiveness, it is clearly stated that we need to implement a plan to nurture and attract large leading enterprises and multinational companies and add a number of corporate groups with international influence and competitiveness by providing 30 million yuan as a reward when they are first included in the Fortune Global 500. A 10 million yuan reward is offered to enterprises when they are first included in the China 500. Meanwhile, we will set up access limitations on land development and utilization, focus on supporting new energy, new materials and bio-pharmaceutical sectors to provide space for strategic emerging industries, modern services and headquarters economic bases. Strong policy orientation and support means big opportunities for enterprises. At present, Shenzhen has taken the lead in enhancing the reform of the business environment, which will make it easier for enterprises to grow bigger. In this context, “Shenzhen’s strength” in the Fortune Global 500 is expected to continue to grow an indeed it is only one step away from its 2020 goal.


  It should be mentioned that only a great country can foster clusters of great enterprises. All those "giant trees" among Shenzhen enterprises have grown up throughout the process of reform and opening up. In the future, the new Shenzhen enterprises joining the Fortune Global 500 will inevitably stem from the national empowerment of the all-encompassing rise of the Chinese economy and sail forth into the era of comprehensively deepening reform and opening up.



Shenzhen’s strategic emerging industries take center stage


The functional cellphone Tecno has become a common sight on the main streets of Africa. Currently, this cellphone brand, which is not widely known at home, has been widely accepted in Africa. Tecno cellphones now account for about 50% of the market in Africa due to their superior quality, low power usage and unique functions.

  The wide acceptance of Tecno cellphones in the international market reflects the rapid development of strategic emerging industries in Shenzhen. Currently, strategic emerging industries are now the main engine of Shenzhen’s economic development and are playing a critical role in this city. In the first half of 2018, the seven strategic emerging industries in Shenzhen achieved an added value of 414.604 billion yuan, an increase of 8.3%, and 0.3 percentage points higher than the GDP growth rate.

  Emerging industries develop fast with strong momentum

  The rapid development of emerging industries helped Shenzhen step onto the pathway of quality growth and connotative development, and created a favorable mechanism in which development is driven by innovation.

  For example, Shenzhen makes comprehensive plans with foresight in the bio-tech industry. It has strengthened research in core and cutting-edge technologies and created an ecological system of industrial innovation. In recent years, Shenzhen’s bio-tech industry has grown rapidly at an average rate of 20% each year. In H1 2018, the city’s biomedical industry saw added value of 14.192 billion yuan, an increase of 23.8%.

  As a national base of the bio-tech industry, Shenzhen made great achievements in the fields of biomedical engineering and biomedicine. The city is ranked among the world’s leaders in high-end biomedical engineering, gene sequencing, bioinformatic analysis and cell therapy. Data shows that Shenzhen has 300 innovation platforms of different levels and categories in the bio-tech field, among which 21 are on the national level. The city’s major industrial parks include the International Bio-Tech Valley, Shenzhen High-Tech Industrial Park and Pingshan National Bio-Tech Base.

  In the field of next generation IT, Shenzhen has become an important base for IT manufacturing, R&D, exports and logistics center in China, and the headquarters or regional headquarters of the top 10 IT companies are located in Shenzhen. In H1 2018, Shenzhen’s next generation IT industry had an added value of 211.199 billion yuan, an increase of 9.6% and 1.6 percentage points higher than GDP growth rate.

  Indeed, Shenzhen has issued plans and supporting policies for seven strategic emerging industries -- biotechnology, internet, new energy, new materials, culture creativity, next generation IT, energy saving and environmental protection -- and keeps cultivating and generating new business patterns. To push forward the concentrated development of strategic emerging industries, Shenzhen has constructed multiple key zones in recent years, such as Liuxiandong Strategic Emerging Industry Headquarter Base and Baguang International Bio-Tech Valley, which bolstered momentum for strategic emerging industries.

  Leading companies are making great contributions.

  Due to the rapid development of industries, the results of innovation have been numerous. Leading companies such as Huawei, Tencent, BYD Auto, Mindray and SuperD have risen to the top in their respective industries and indeed the world. They are playing an irreplaceable role in pushing forward industrial development.

  Some companies with high growth have developed into industrial champions and become the core driving force for emerging industries. Hepalink has obtained the right to set the international market prices of heparin-related products. Beike Biotechnology has expanded with the largest-scale and most robust data in the world in terms of security and effectiveness of clinical research on stem cells. BTR has become the largest supplier of negative electrode materials of lithium-ion batteries in the world. DJI-Innovations accounts for more than 70% of the market share of consumer drones in the world. UBTech is the first high-growth humanoid robot company in the world and attracted widespread attention in the industry.

  Shenzhen is strengthening top-level design of the innovation system and pushing forward technological innovation and industrial development through innovation in policies and systems. By issuing the Plan for Reforming Diversified Methods of Supporting Emerging Industries with Special Funds and implementing the special plan for supporting strategic emerging industries, Shenzhen provided support for more than 12,000 industrial projects. The city is carrying out a special project for integrated development of “industrial chain + innovation chain”, and it conducts more than 100 key scientific and technological projects every year in order to strengthen breakthrough efforts in core technologies.

  “As it turns out, Shenzhen has seized the important opportunity of global technological reform at the earliest moment and in the best way possible,” says Song Bing, the secretary general of China Innovation South IP Institute. The rapid growth of strategic emerging industries enables Shenzhen to cultivate an industrial layout with stronger innovation capacity, better structure and higher quality, and helps with the industrial transformation and upgrade.


visa-related services counter opened for expats in ShenZhen

STARTING yesterday, expatriates who work at Fortune 500 companies, the country's top 500 companies, listed companies, large-scale leading companies recognized by Guangdong Province, top 100 taxpaying companies, industrial companies or foreign trade companies in Shenzhen can access exclusive visa-related services, the Shenzhen Special Zone Daily reported yesterday.

According to the public security bureau, an exclusive counter will be opened for foreign executives of such companies. Additionally, an enterprise can make an appointment two weeks in advance if there are more than 40 applicants at the company, and staffers will be sent to the company to provide on-site services.

Meanwhile, the time for handling visa-related documents has been shortened from seven days to five.

On Aug. 20, Shenzhen's entry and exit authorities launched new online services for the convenience of foreigners. Expatriates who need to apply for certifications for a lost passport or a birth certificate for their baby born in China can log onto www.szga.gov.cn to complete the application.

Applicants need to fill out an online application form and upload the images of the materials as required.

In the past, the application formalities for expats were less convenient. Foreigners who had lost their passports had to go to the processing hall of the immigration office to fill out a form before submitting a lost article report at the police station before the applications could be processed.

Foreigners who wanted to apply for a birth certificate for their children born in China had to make an appointment online before submitting all of the required documents, including original passports and printed copies, to the administration hall of the entry and exit department.

ShenZhen Biomedical industry exceeds 240b yuan





THE Shenzhen International Biotech Summit 2018 and the Biology and Health Industry Expo were held at the Shenzhen Convention and Exhibition Center on Thursday.

Nearly 100 guests, including biotech entrepreneurs, academicians and investors from home and abroad, attended the summit.

Hu Shengshou, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, and Wayne Hendrickson, a member of the National Academy of Sciences of the U.S., both delivered keynote speeches.

Hu opened his speech by introducing the development of smart medical treatment in China, before pointing out the existing problems in information security, algorithm transparency and data authenticity.

With the boom of artificial intelligence (AI), AI technologies have also made great progress in the medical field, according to Hu. "In this context and in terms of social environment, policy, technology and capital, smart medical treatment seems to be very close to our daily life," Hu said.

However, in Hu's view, despite the emergence of medical AI companies and soaring medical financing, we still have a long way to go to realize the application of AI technologies in the medical field.

"Statistics showed that the smart medical market in China is expected to exceed 20 billion yuan (US$2.91 billion) in 2018. However, up until now there haven't been any real smart medical products in China approved by State-level certification and adopted for clinical application," Hu said in his speech.

According to him, computing power, algorithms and data are the core of smart medical treatment. In particular, health big data will greatly enhance the capabilities of community medical services.

Hu said the National Center for Cardiovascular Diseases, Fuwai Hospital and the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences will cooperate with the Shenzhen Municipal Government to develop a system to improve medical service capabilities at the grass-roots level based on three databases, including those of the city's population, medical insurance and hospitals.

According to Ai Xuefeng, vice mayor of Shenzhen, the output value of the city's biomedical industry exceeded 240 billion yuan in 2017. In the first half of 2018, the growth of the industry's added value increased by 23.8 percent, ranking first among the seven strategic emerging industries.
