District hacker-spaces answer call to innovate
Print Edition
THE Putuo Hacker-Space Alliance has been operating since October 2015 and already four of its member groups have received national-level hacker-space certificates.
These hacker-spaces are iBetogether, Dream Rental Office, the Node’s Shanghai Center and Creative Mind Incunet, all of which were included in the national Science and Technology Incubator Management Service System in September.
At a celebration ceremony for the one year anniversary of the founding of the alliance, leaders from the four new national-level hacker-spaces shared their experiences and views. These included a shared belief that every hacker-space should be professionalized and follow market rules, have their own unique position, and learn to fully integrate all available resources.
All participants at the ceremony also agreed that business creation and innovation are tasks that involve everyone, and only accumulated and coordinated efforts can generate success.
The alliance has been following 28 district policies related to innovation and business-starting to offer services such as investment, platform buildings, loans, talents encouragement and risk control, the participants said.
The alliance has also cooperated with relevant district departments to carry out science and technology innovation and business-starting activities.
The district government also encourages research institutions to cooperate with local hacker-spaces. These institutions include the Shanghai Electrical Apparatus Research Institute, East China Normal University’s High-tech Park, Tongji University’s High-tech Park and the Shanghai Research Institute of Chemical Industry, all of which will cooperate with members of the alliance in areas such as research transfer, business-creation and business matchmaking with hacker spaces, officials said at the ceremony.
After the ceremony, Rushing Storm Hacker Space’s second phase project was unveiled. It will focus on the incubation of culture, entertainment and media startups. It has a total space of 1,600 square meters.
Multiple new hacker-spaces will open to the public early next year. These include spaces at New East China Normal University High-tech Park, Jinyang Mansion and 2399 Zhongshan Road N.
