Dongguan's Binhaiwan Bay Area recently launched its first AI+ trading market, LinKing, within the International Open Innovation and Entrepreneurship Community. Home to ten AI enterprises, LinKing invites more AI companies to join, providing a dedicated space for trading and networking.
LinKing is a joint initiative by the Shanghai Technology Exchange Center's Global Cross-border Technology Trade (Greater Bay Area) Center and Binhaiwan Bay Area New District, designed to help AI entrepreneurs "connect and succeed in business."
By the end of 2024, Dongguan is expected to lead the nation in the number of industrial enterprises, offering a vast market for industrial applications. LinKing seeks to connect AI companies with manufacturers, enabling precise tech-to-demand matches and driving upgrades in technology trading and manufacturing capabilities.
Spanning roughly 1,020 square meters across two floors, LinKing includes an AI acceleration space, a service station for AI enterprises, and a technology trading lounge. Qualified AI entrepreneurs or startups can move in rent-free, with each workstation designated for one enterprise—reducing startup costs while providing access to Greater Bay Area Center resources and services.
The Greater Bay Area Center provides AI enterprises with tailored services across all development stages, including policy guidance, patent applications, investment support, and strategic consulting. It has also partnered with the Shenzhen Qianhai Equity Trading Center to launch the Dongguan Binhaiwan AiTC Integrated Development Center, offering a platform that combines technology and capital. Through this platform, AI companies can expand their market reach via technology trading and accelerate their path to public listing.
