Based on a high degree of consensus, all parties have tentatively mapped out a long-term collaboration mechanism centered on three key areas: cross-border training, joint investment promotion, and the co-construction of overseas hubs. In the future, the Shenzhen Makers Association will systematically provide professional empowerment solutions and foster diverse forms of cooperation, while more partners will deepen regular cooperation in key areas such as industrial synergy, resource sharing, business acceleration, investment and financing matching, and cross-border expansion. This will establish a high-standard, multi-tiered, and actionable bridge for industrial collaboration in the Greater Bay Area. By serving as proactive connectors, they will drive the region’s industries from resource aggregation toward shared value creation.
