Roads in a Chinese city have gotten much quieter in recent years. Shenzhen, widely called the Silicon Valley of hardware, has been pouring resources to phase out rattling diesel vehicles chugging through the city of 12 million people.
There is no other place better than “Shenzhen” in terms of rapidness for hardware development until it is launched to the market or the efficiency of supply chain. Shenzhen is now attracting startup teams from all over the world. Over half of them are from North America, one fourth from China and the rest from Europe.
