Shenzhen Innovation Tour: 21 June 9:00-21:00
It’s very hard to see the places where innovation actually happens. The interesting work takes place in labs behind locked doors and in conference rooms that require clearance to enter. TechCrunch China and TechNode Innovation Tour will offer you a chance to find out the leading innovation booming in Shenzhen.
