A cross-border innovation exchange event was recently held in Shenzhen's Luohu district, bringing together overseas startups and global innovation resources for direct dialogue and cooperation.

Guided by the Luohu District Science, Technology and Industry Bureau and hosted by Plug and Play China's GBA International Innovation Center with support from China Merchants Bank's Luohu Branch, the event attracted startups from 15 countries, including Germany, France, the Netherlands, Türkiye, Canada, Argentina, Mexico, Brazil and Peru. They presented solutions in artificial intelligence, fintech, construction technology, real estate finance, education technology, mobility, healthcare and new energy.

Luohu introduced its "One-Person Company" (OPC) support policies, while Plug and Play China shared its 120-day OPC acceleration program and corporate innovation needs. China Merchants Bank presented one-stop cross-border financial services, creating a platform that connects global technologies, capital and application scenarios.

Responding to the global rise of the OPC model, Luohu has launched four specialized OPC communities and ten targeted support measures, forming a full-cycle support system for innovation. Overseas startups are increasingly drawn to Luohu's strong innovation ecosystem, rich application scenarios and expanding global connectivity. During the roadshow, six overseas startups presented their technologies and cooperation needs, highlighting strong complementarities with the Chinese market.

Luohu aims to further position itself as a testbed and incubator for global innovation, promoting two-way cross-border technology flows and accelerating the development of new quality productive forces.
