Last year was O2O model innovation, this year is scientific and technological innovation
In the past few years, China's innovation has mostly focused on the Internet. We have seen a variety of O2O models, from cleaning, catering to car washing and decoration. Innovation seems to be the traditional+Internet model. However, after the domestic O2O model has reached its peak, it has slowly entered a stable period. If we still think that a small start-up team can easily change an industry through the Internet model, It can only be said that it is impossible.
Intel Li Desheng said, "We see a rule that the innovation of science and technology and the innovation of application mode are mutually reinforcing and supportive. After we have made the most of the innovation of application mode of mobile Internet technology, your innovation in new fields will reach a new climax. Last year, we proposed that many people could not hear or see it. This year, when we talked with many innovators and innovation and entrepreneurship service agencies, we found that many people's key points are moving to science and technology, Because we believe that technological innovation will become the new king in the next wave . Now you have many concepts, including intelligent hardware, intelligent robots, artificial intelligence, big data AR/VR、 Unmanned driving, etc., all of which are inseparable from technological innovation. Of course, it is not that application innovation and model innovation are no longer important, but that these fields are no longer just a simple model and application innovation, but that we need many large enterprises and small and medium-sized enterprises to work together to promote the further development of these innovations in specific fields. "
China has an innovation center, that is Shenzhen
Shenzhen is a very young city and its policy environment is very open. Every year, a large number of young people and young makers come here. Intel moved the venue of China's IDF (Intel Information Technology Summit) from Beijing to Shenzhen a few years ago.
Intel Li Desheng said: "As you know, China is a huge market, and many technological innovations can only succeed in the Chinese market if they can be applied in the Chinese market after they are generated in the global market. Because there are many consumers here, innovative applications can be quickly applied to the market. Shenzhen has a large group of developers and makers, and everyone is here to innovate and develop together. At the same time, we will move Shenzhen's R&D personnel, innovators, especially those related to intelligent hardware, to the office here in Shenzhen. Because China and Shenzhen have become the centers of intelligent devices and intelligent hardware. "
Cooperation between Intel and Chinese Industry
First, cooperation at the chip level. Intel has now started to cooperate with China's leading manufacturers in the design field in the server and mobile fields (including the Internet of Things and wearable devices), including other functional applications.
Second, strategic investment. Intel has a strategic investment fund in China and will make strategic investment for key partners in the science and technology field. Intel's Angel Fund in China was initially set up with 80 million yuan. The angel investor of Perfect Fantasy was Intel. In addition, in 2014, Intel invested nearly 10 billion yuan in Tsinghua Unisplendor.
Third, cooperation with Chinese industries in the field of mass innovation and innovation. At the Third Session of the 12th National People's Congress in March 2015, Premier Li Keqiang proposed the policy direction of "mass entrepreneurship and innovation". At the Shenzhen IDF in April 2015, Intel Global CEO Kerezaki announced the launch of the Intel Maker Space Accelerator, a project specifically designed for mass entrepreneurship and innovation. At that time, the Intel Maker Space Accelerator program was launched at a cost of 120 million yuan.
Intel Li Desheng said, "We are entering a new era of intelligent interconnection. Maker innovation is breaking through the traditional boundaries and stimulating more imagination and creativity. For this reason, Intel is taking advantage of the growing virtuous circle , break through industrial boundaries, support makers in an all-round way, foster innovation, incubate entrepreneurship, promote the vigorous development of the maker movement, and embrace unprecedented opportunities with innovators through innovative development platforms and project models, as well as industrial ecological cooperation. "

Intel Maker Space Accelerator
At the Shenzhen IDF in 2015, Intel CEO Kozaki announced that the world's first "Intel Maker Space Accelerator" program was officially launched in China. Intel hopes to realize the whole process value output and promote the development from innovation to maker and from innovation to entrepreneurship through the establishment of a joint maker space, an online innovation center, and the "three-level promotion" of venture capital and industry incubation.
At present, Intel has established 13 joint maker spaces in 8 cities in China, including Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Chengdu, etc., with more than 1500 incubation projects, and a total of more than 7000 maker projects online. At the same time, it has established cooperation with more than 20 industrial partners, including Tsinghua University, Zhongguancun Venture Street, Shanghai Tongji University, Chongqing High tech Zone, Shenzhen Zhongke Maker College, to help support entrepreneurial projects.
Li Desheng of Intel said: "When it comes to accelerators, many people think that Intel will find a place next to its offices in Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen and Chengdu, and we believe that this is also a way to do accelerators. But after our research and planning, we are going to take another innovative approach, combining Intel's way of doing accelerators. We will combine Intel's products, technologies, Intel's brand resources, market resources, and these leading maker spaces with the country's leading maker spaces and accelerators. Second, in addition to the offline co creation space, online is also an important part. We have a dedicated website（ Intel Hard Share Community ）WeChat, you can get relevant product introduction and technical support on the Internet, including the developer community. Third, we have set up a special angel fund to invest in outstanding projects in the start-up stage, specifically for the plan of the maker space accelerator. "
In the opinion of the author (Mo Changyou), Intel's maker space accelerator mainly hopes to take advantage of the current entrepreneurial trend in China to promote innovative projects based on Intel's product architecture, and combine Aero, Alloy, Euclid, Curie, Edison, Genuino 101 and other developer suites with the actual industry to apply them to broader and more innovative projects. Intel is no longer a PC based company, which is an incomparably clear fact. Compared with the decline in profits of PC chip business, data center, Internet of Things, and storage solutions are the key development directions of Intel in the future, but it is not realistic for Intel to promote the development of the entire industry alone, There are many outstanding start-ups and makers in China now. It is Intel's vision to make their projects use Intel's platform as much as possible, to get closer to Intel, and to form a virtuous circle of development through the maker space accelerator provided by Intel, based on Intel's overall and comprehensive end-to-end links. Of course, this is not a simple process.
