China’s growing demand for smart hardware triggered the enthusiasm of foreign developers entering the competitive market here.
JD Smart, a smart hardware eco-system provider backed by Chinese e-commerce behemoth JD.com, held an open house on Thursday for 20 overseas technology start-ups from seven countries to demonstrate their crowd-funded products at its Smart Milk Tea Café, a business incubator.
“JD+, a project operated by JD Smart, and the eco-system based on it, will provide tremendous support to accelerate the business expansion of overseas start-ups in China, establish brand awareness and accelerate the landing and promotion of their products,” said Lucus Wang, CEO of HWTrek.
HWTrek organized the event with JD Smart. It is a Taiwan-based platform that connects hardware startups with manufacturers and other resources.
