What: TechCrunch Shenzhen 2017

When: June 17-20th, 2017

It has been four years since TechCrunch.cn and the TechCrunch China Summit landed in China. In that time, we have seen 6 sessions in Beijing and Shanghai with more than 300 speaker, including the world’s most famous entrepreneur, venture investor like Alphabet/Google CEO Mr. Eric Schmidt, Xiaoping Xu, Fan Bao, Kaifu Li, Yossi Vardi, Davide Cole, and Huateng Ma, CEO of Tencent as well as other high-profile guests from around the world from companies including, Twitter, ZTE, DJI, Xiaomi, iRobot, Smartisan, Mobike, Sogou, Mogujie, Ele.me, and NextVR.

Each session has attracted 200+ startups, 170+ media around the world, furthermore, our feature VC Meetup sessions attracted 800+ startups to participate. The annual TechCrunch Summit is the definitive international venture conference in China. In previous years, the Summit was hosted in Beijing, the best entrepreneurial environment of China, and Shanghai, a top-ranking global city for its innovation. In 2017, we go to Shenzhen, the Silicon Valley of hardware!

Starting in 2015, Shenzhen has gone from strength to strength and picking up speed due to its strong entrepreneurial culture and policy support from all levels of the government. According to data from the Shenzhen government (in Chinese), there are already more than 1 million startups in the city as of August 2016 and 128 companies listed on the city’s Growth Enterprise Market (GEM) and Small and Medium Enterprises (SME) boards.

With mottos like “The more competent, the more successful” and “To be wrong is to lose,” Shenzhen is a city of practicality and real success, promoting perseverance, excellence, and creativity and attracting entrepreneurs from all corners of the globe to test themselves.
