What happens when APEC meets Shenzhen’s next generation of startup founders? 🌏
Today, InnoX had the honor of welcoming the APEC Secretariat to Shenzhen for an exchange with our startup teams, founders, and innovation community 🚀

• Fernando Salas, Director of Communications and Public Affairs
• Chua Wei Min, Digital Communications Manager
• Cristina Christodulo, Community Outreach Manager
alongside media representatives from Shenzhen Daily, , and Vietnam News Agency 📰
The delegation experienced firsthand products built by InnoX startups:
🧘♀️ — intelligent Pilates reformer
💆♂️ — AI-powered auto-massage roller
💇♀️ .official — smart micro-misting scalp applicator
🍖 — AI infrared indoor grill
✂️ — smart hair clipper
One message from Eduardo Pedrosa especially stayed with us:
“When you bring together researchers, funding, and talent in one place, it enables young entrepreneurs to turn ideas into real products.”
From innovation to global collaboration, today’s exchange highlighted why Shenzhen remains one of the world’s most dynamic startup ecosystems 🌟
