Lift is organizing the first Lift China in Shanghai in partnership with swissnex China. Lift China will be the place for makers, artists, start-ups and pioneers alike to meet and make fruitful connections with the international community.

In 2014, Lift is looking east again, to the fantastic rise of the Shenzhen economy and the growing innovative power of Shanghai. From “made in China” to “made with China”, engineers, entrepreneurs and designers are creating a new marketplace where western start-ups and eastern manufacturers join forces to reinvent the technological daily life.

Lift China will offer inspirational, actionable and interactive experiences through talks, workshops, matchmaking initiatives and exhibitions, as well as a Venture Leaders session for the best start-ups to pitch their innovative ideas.

In addition, in collaboration with the think tank Hacked Matter, Lift China will organize a discovery trip for Swiss and European makers to meet the great manufacturers of Shanghai and Shenzhen from Sept 11th-13th.
