Shenzhen Open Innovation Lab is initiated by Shenzhen Industrial Design Profession Association and supported by the Shenzhen government to develop solutions to connect the massive production ecosystem

With enthusiastic view of Shenzhen, the global startup projects and products have not been produced as smoothly in Shenzhen as evident by the delay and cancelation of the Kickstarter projects in the past few years. Shenzhen Open Innovation Lab would provide space, access and funding to collaborate with partners from different sectors. -Academia and Research The lab would work with research labs, think tanks and independent researchers to develop deep understanding of the ecosystem in Shenzhen and issues facing small startups in this ecosystem. It would receive international researching collaborators and provide assistance in their researches. Also, it will provide researcher in residence program. -Makers and Startup Network The lab will serve as a bridge for makers and startups and provide soft landing in the city of Shenzhen. It will provide open space for makers and startups while they are getting settled as well as introduction and access to the ecosystem in Shenzhen. -Shenzhen Production Network The lab will connect to the production network in Shenzhen and facilitate the collaborations with researchers, makers and startups and the Shenzhen producers.
