得益于地理优势，80年代的深圳曾经是全世界科技品牌的制造中心，“设计在世界、生产在深圳、销售往世界”是当时大多数产品的生命路线。进入千禧之年，大湾区制造业迎来了山寨时代，企业争相模仿全球各地的创新产品，正是在这个过程中，形成了相当完备的供应链体系：从芯片到外壳，从电子器件到pcb，任何元素在这里应有尽有。与此同时，有一批敢为人先的年轻人不再满足于单纯的生产制造，开始深入科技领域，打造出一批具有影响力的科技品牌。在他们的合力下，深圳逐渐从Hollywood of makers转变为Hollywood of innovators，向世界发出自己的创新之音。
It surprises me that all of us agree passion is very important in our lives. Although there are so many differences between us, like age, country, major and so on, we all feel passionate about being able to make a contribution to our world.
Actually, we already met some people in this morning, but this event enabled us to learn more details about each other. Besides, listenning to others is like looking at the mirror which allows me to understand myself more deeply.
It was a good experience because everybody was very honest during the conversation. When we didn't know who we were talking to, we felt safe to communicate deeply and were more willing to talk about personal things and share our inner feelings.
