Shenzhen
Known as the mighty city that flies high like the roc, Shenzhen is a tinkerer’s haven for rapid innovation where mistakes are made fast and insights are uncovered even faster.
Home to renowned tech giants like BYD, DJI, Huawei and Tencent, Shenzhen encompasses a fast growth mentality, effortless access to production facilities and support by the local government, creating the ultimate combination for any hardware company to succeed miles ahead of their counterparts in other geographies.
Tapping into XNode’s network of manufacturing giants, hardware startups and investors, startups under the cross-border programme would be plugged into an environment where fast-paced dealmaking meets rapid product iteration; where suppliers could be involved from the get-go and where funding opportunities and ecosystem support are readily available.
The Programme
A highly customised 1 to 2 weeks programme to help hardware startups from Singapore to tap into Shenzhen’s manufacturing ecosystem and market opportunities. A dedicated acceleration manager from our team will assist your startup in validating its product-market fit and crafting a go-to-market strategy through a series of workshops, introductions to ecosystem players and mentoring sessions by industry experts.
Programme Requirements
Your startup should meet the following criteria:
Specialised in serving the advanced manufacturing, maritime or logistics sectors
Have a validated and competitive value proposition
Generating revenue in Singapore and/or Southeast Asia
As the programme requires startups’ dedication to expansion, those that are in the midst of fundraising shall not be accepted into the programme, unless they wish to raise funds specifically for and in the China market and upon XNode’s assessment that they are mature enough to potentially raise in China.
