On November 17, 15 PNP outstanding cross-border project representatives from the United States, Canada, Belgium, South Korea and other countries came to Shenzhen and started their journey to Shenzhen, the last stop of the "PNP Talent Future Cross-border Summit". As the "capital of Design", "capital of hardware" and "capital of venture capital", Shenzhen has demonstrated its entrepreneurial strength and innovation enthusiasm to 15 cross-border teams, marking a complete end to PNP's cross-border trip across five major cities in China.

On November 17, as soon as they stepped off the plane, the entrepreneurial elites from different countries felt the "enthusiasm" of Shenzhen, the capital of venture capital. The first stop was PNP Power Cooperation Office. Here, Mr. Wang Yongxiang, director of Science Innovation Bureau of Nanshan District of Shenzhen, introduced to them the excellent entrepreneurial environment and strong policy support of Nanshan District on behalf of Nanshan District. Wang Yongxiang said, "It is often said that China's Silicon Valley is in Shenzhen, and Shenzhen's Silicon Valley is in Nanshan. Many excellent unicorns, such as DJI, which we are familiar with, were grown in Nanshan District. We have watched them grow step by step."
Zhao Chen, Managing partner of PNP China, Lu Shan, Partner of Lihe, Wang Zheng, partner of Lihe, and Li Chunyu, general manager of PNP Lihe, attended the briefing and introduced the cooperation achievements and future plans of Plug and Play and Lihe in Shenzhen to 15 cross-border projects.

On November 18, 15 cross-border projects appeared at the 2017 China Entrepreneurship Services Summit, and conducted project roadshows and in-depth exchanges. They immediately became the focus of the most investors and partners on the same day.
At the China Entrepreneurship Services Summit on the same day, Zhao Chen, managing partner of PNP China, and Li Chunyu, general manager of PNP Lihe announced the growth plan of PNP cross-border projects in China. PNP Shenzhen Office will take advantage of its direct access to Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area to solve the problem of cooperation between foreign projects and domestic resources, so that cross-border projects can not only take root, but also bear fruit.
Larry, Chairman of DarbeeVision, said, "We have cooperated with OPPO in the Chinese market. This time, I will try to connect with more OEM partners with the help of PNP in Shenzhen. Zte and Skyworth are both leading local enterprises.
Dr. DanCook, founder of EyeMynd, said, "This is my second visit to Shenzhen, and Shenzhen is a creative city. In this entrepreneurship services Summit, I also asked local college students in Shenzhen. His idea is so new and interesting that it blows people's minds. Shenzhen is such an amazing city."
On the day of the road show, all the seats were filled. The audience frequently raised their mobile phones to take pictures of the product display content of the project road show, and scanned the two-dimensional code to follow the speakers for follow-up cooperation. After the roadshow, representatives of local investment institutions, investors and enterprise manufacturers had one-to-one in-depth communication with the entrepreneurial team, and agreed to continue to have more in-depth contact after the summit, and strive to promote the results of enterprise cooperation.
On November 19th, under the organization and arrangement of PNP Lihe, the entrepreneurial team visited ZTE, a leading technology enterprise in Shenzhen, and had an in-depth understanding of the local innovation ecology in Shenzhen. At this point, the PNP Chuangchi Future Cross-border Summit came to an end. 15 cross-border teams reluctantly embarked on their return journey, but this journey is not the end, but the starting point for them to have more contact with China. They made plans to meet again on their next trip to China. "This trip to China is like a dream for me," says Aimee, co-founder of BluePrint Lab. "It's my first time in China, but it definitely won't be my last. After this trip, I will come to China frequently to seek cooperation opportunities."
