Maker spaces ideal for business innovators
Print Edition
A MAP of maker spaces in Jiading has been published online. The number of such spaces has risen from 27 by end of 2015 to 37 currently. Their total area is nearly 250,000 square meters and altogether 1,403 enterprises have been set up in maker spaces.
Maker spaces have become a source of vitality for scientific innovation as they are flexible, have all elements of a business startup and provide easy access for investors.
Many young people start their work before 8am at the Internet of Things incubator in Juyuan New Area. Zhang Wei, 26, set up a company less than a year ago and the design, research and development have entered a new stage.
The Internet of Things incubator provides a comprehensive and professional service for Zhang, including technical consultation, financial management and testbed.
It’s an ideal place for him to turn his vision into business.
As the first national level incubator in Jiading, the Internet of Things incubator has 75 enterprises and 26 enterprises have been successfully incubated with 504 intellectual properties.
Last year, 13 enterprises in the incubator received investment of 227 million yuan (US$35 million).
Jiading also has a number of private maker spaces in different categories.
At Rubik’s Cube Community, the construction of 1,200 square meters of space has been completed, covering coffee bar, reading area, rest area, fixed office area and flexible office area for 84 member enterprises.
Since its establishment two months ago, it has hosted several activities, including one for Shanghai Jiao Tong University which attracted three business startup groups and a total investment of 50 million yuan.
