Synopsis

The transformation of Asia demonstrated in its demographic transition, social progress, economic development, and technological innovation has been phenomenal. Dragon Innovation: Shenzhen is one of the first comprehensive analyses on the formation of China’s technology hub, Shenzhen and the Greater Bay Area, in a multidimensional and multicultural society in the 21st century amid global trade war and great power competition. It examines how and why Shenzhen and the Greater Bay Area emerged as Asia’s leading technology cluster from historical, cultural, political, institutional, business and social perspectives to present an innovation experience that differs from the widely known western innovation hubs. In-person interviews with Shenzhen local government officials, renowned Shenzhen business leaders including Huawei’s Ren Zhengfei, Tencent’s Pony Ma Huateng, and the chief scientists at major technology & AI companies as well as EV companies including BYD make this book authentic and outstanding. Interviews with tech investors, academics, salespeople, grassroots entrepreneurs and migrant professionals make this book rich, vivid and informative. This book will interest scholars, policymakers, development practitioners, technologists, transnational entrepreneurs and global investors.
