WeWork in SHENZHEN Visit Report

Finally, WeWork arrived SHENZHEN!

As WeWork currently has more than 260,000 members worldwide, it got about 300 million dollars from the SOFTBANK Group, as it became news, with the wealth of financial resources,
Starting with the opening of the first space in Shanghai in July 2016, they have accelerated the advance to China. It now spreads to 16 places in total (including Hong Kong) and more to come. 

3rd Sep 2018, WeWork softopend as "WeWork CCSS (China Construction Steel Structure)" at Nanshan district.
They will have a Grand opening in October 2018. Until then, they are planning many events at their co-working site. We visited WeWork CCSS at first soft opening week.

Shenzhen Fan will be working with WeWork promoting co-working einviroment for startups (we will release details later) 

Shenzhen's co-working space circumstances

 

The co-working space wave is still alive in Shenzhen, and if you give famous facilities
Tencent's "Tencent Incubator(衆創空間)", SimplyWork(思微),  and Bee Plus are famous as co-working / incubation facilities.
There are many other Makerspaces around Huaqiang North where you can make use of the unique advantages of Shenzhen, such as Seg Maker and Trouble Maker, where you can quickly procure electronic parts.
WeWork, which has branches in the world, can use free space if you are a member, so it seems to be popular among foreign-affiliated companies by taking advantage of the huge brand power.

The view from the window is the best. The land around here is under construction and new buildings are coming soon.
After a few years the scenery will change a lot. I guess it will be the top office town in China.

Cafe, Rest space

Events are (almost) daily

 

WeWork 深セン CCSS イベントスケジュール
I think that it is only during the soft opening period, but there are some events almost every day ...

I was invited to the next event,  I will join if it's convenient!

 

WeWork SHENZHEN's future development is ...

 

As Shenzhen is sandwiched between Dongguan City (东莞市), the factory area of the product, and Hong Kong with the world's hub airport,
It is a convenient city for both professional engineers who produce and those who sell it.
In the future, technicians will develop in MAKER SPACE, and those who sell products may have an office in a co-working space may be a good way of coexistence.

WeWork expects to develop differently from Beijing and Shanghai.
