(Sorry,only in Japanese)
2000~ Open source movement
2005~ Cloud computing
Huge scale web service development democratized!
Planning first,
Financing first,
Prototype first,
Public release first,
….Making first!
New style of innovation, also new style funding.
Two legendary engineer made that acceleration
system Y Combinator (2005~)
Y Combinator is the engineer investor fund to
engineer entrepreneur, only for the prototype, not a
Powerpoint.
2000~ Open source movement
2005~ Cloud computing
2012~ Maker Movement?
How democratize makes own hardware product by
MAKERS?
Prototype, Produce, Promotion….

Maker: New category of Inventors
Traditional Inventors Maker

University’s LabBig company’s Lab
Community Lab/MakerSpaceInternet
Produce By the company,By the businessman or professional.
By the Community,By the hobbyist.

Revolution: Before and After
Difference between
traditional based Product and Community based one
Traditional Inventors Maker

Focus Numerical, Functional, Feeling, Sense
Customer Boss, or Consumer Ourselves

Issue
Prototype ・Open Source tool・Personal computer
・Open Source Tool・Digital fabrication tool (3D printer, CNC,)
Manufacturing tool and knowledge are difficult to find on the net.
Scaling ・Cloud Computing ・EMS(Electronics Manufacturing Service)
The small lot number and flexible manufacturing are mostly in Shenzhen.
Funding ・Accelerator ・Accelerator Hardware business need huge money for the scaling up.
Marketing ・SNS・Community
・SNS・Community
Hardware businesses need more retail shop for selling.
Huge hardware project is still not easy yet,
even in manufacturing!
Why the MAKER need to go Shenzhen.
Why manufacturing in Shenzhen is fast and flexible?
Here is the Makers Hollywood

An uncountable number of the factory in this area.
Also diverse of the factory, they can make anything and also making
100 to 10K production.
Some factorys have experience about works by English.
Chinese style 公开(Gongkai) IP system.
Chinese style 公开(Gongkai) IP system.
Andrew Bunnie Huang 「The Hardware Hacker」(2017)
Western model = Patent separate from the physical thingsChinese model = the physical things include the patent
If you buy Physical thing in China, you can get also Intellectual Property.
Example: Public mother board (公板, GongBan)You can buy a motherboard of Smartphone, Camera, drone and tablet from 1pcs to 10,000pcs. You can get BOM (Bill of Material) when you get motherboard.Original motherboard is expensive, copy is cheaper. You can easy to make new products from the motherboard.
And any IP‘s are easy to share on the market. That model is more effective for innovation.
Case one:
Robin Wu, from Shenzhen
He called Shanzhai King 山寨王
He invented the Intel CPU version of
Fake iPad in just 60 days and was called
"Shanzhai King".
Normally he is not only Shanzhai, he is
doing various inventions such as IoT
mug and jacket with GPS.
Robin Wu, told us….
Although the new invention leads to a
margin, Simple Idea can copy within
90 days.
How much money can you make in
the first 90 days, the first is all.
Mass production at once, it is good to
sell it.
Chen Rex told to us….
COPY STARY
STARY is $899 product.
Spend money for quality, that mean
looks like just skateboard.
Fake E-Skateboards are $150-250.
They want to make Cheep E-Skateboard,
Not our competitor.
Price for high-end product such as DJI, we can Survive.
Price is high but quality is same as cheaper one such as
GoPro, we can’t Survive.
