Arrow Electronics Hosts IoT Innovation Exhibition in Shenzhen to Promote Hong Kong Startups and Mainland China Technology Industry
Arrow Electronics (NYSE: ARW) today held an IoT Innovation Exhibition in Shenzhen to provide a platform for Hong Kong startups to communicate with Chinese technology companies. The event attracted more than 500 representatives from the IoT ecosystem industry in China and Hong Kong, and implemented Arrow's vision: to lead and connect entrepreneurs, entrepreneurs, customers and suppliers in the IoT design to production process.
According to the Global Entrepreneurship Watch (GEM) Hong Kong and Shenzhen Research Report 2016-17, which was jointly published by the Chinese University of Hong Kong and the Hong Kong Baptist University Business School last month, the entrepreneurial rates in Hong Kong and Shenzhen increased from 2009 to 2016. 206% and 284%. The report shows that both Shenzhen and Hong Kong have great potential to develop into an innovative networking hub that is important for start-ups.
However, due to Hong Kong's limited engineering expertise and high-volume production capacity, the incubation process for innovative ideas is relatively slow. Shenzhen, which is just across the river, is a manufacturing center for global mass market electronics products, and is a huge market for IoT consumer products and enterprise solutions. Arrow has leveraged its years of experience in providing end-to-end IoT product lifecycle solutions in the Asia Pacific region to connect with outstanding start-ups and companies in the Shenzhen and Hong Kong IoT industry to drive the development of the Internet of Things.
Yu Minhong, President of Arrow Asia Components Asia Pacific, said: "Arena Electronics has been committed to supporting technological innovation in China and Hong Kong. We can effectively assist with engineering expertise and industry recognition in the Internet of Things, especially in Greater China. Startups eliminate technical barriers on the road to entrepreneurship and allow them to connect with other companies in the ecosystem, making them truly innovative companies with social influence."
The Internet of Things Innovation Exhibition provided a platform for the future cooperation of the Internet of Things companies in China and Hong Kong. In addition to start-ups and entrepreneurs, Arrow also invited more than 50 large and small technology manufacturers from both domestic and international. The companies attending the event include IoT solution providers, system integration companies, design companies and global technology vendors such as Analog Devices, Cypress Semiconductor, Honeywell, Infineon Technologies, Intel, Nexperia, NXP Semiconductors, ON Semiconductor, Qualcomm and STMicroelectronics.
Mr. Yu Minhong, President of Arrow Asia Components Asia Pacific, and a group of startups made product ideas exchanges. Mr. Yu expressed appreciation for various start-up products and took photos with a group of representatives.
In the collaborative project presentation, industry leaders and experts presented optimization recommendations for more than 100 innovative products and solutions on site. Startups that showcase these projects include HearTIsans, Minfa and Cwlinux.
Leading IoT startups to move forward
HearTIsans is the first startup to work with Arrow Electronics. The wearable hand strap they developed can predict heart disease by monitoring the user's heartbeat data. Lv Yanwei, co-founder of the company, said: "The key to our two innovations is the ability to predict the risk of cardiac arrest five to ten minutes in advance, and to measure blood pressure using pulse transit time without the need for a balloon arm. Arrow's extensive engineering expertise And one-stop consulting services from verification concepts, hardware component selection to system integration process, greatly shortening our product development cycle and reducing costs. Exhibitions like today are a good platform for us. You can reach out to manufacturers who are willing to produce our products and bring them to end consumers."
Minfa is working with Arrow Electronics to develop an indoor electronic air quality monitor that can be connected to the entire Sensor network for instant wireless monitoring, control and data analysis. Company representative Marc Chow shared his experience with Arrow Electronics at the meeting: "Although I have a background in the construction engineering environment, my understanding of electronic engineering is limited. I have given me many technical guidance, such as wireless network connection, transmission. Sense, system integration and data management, and we have access to many IoT technology partners and production resources. These support have overcome the hardware design challenges and accelerated the development of our products. Today is a rare Opportunities allow us to meet face-to-face with many industry leaders, experts and suppliers. We look forward to working with them to develop our next IoT innovation."
End-to-end IoT solution
The success of the Internet of Things depends not only on revolutionary creativity, design and superior production capacity, but also on the need for a complete and sound IoT ecosystem. Salvatore SetTInieri, vice president of distribution for STMicroelectronics Asia Pacific, believes: "STMicroelectronics has a unique portfolio of products for IoT applications, such as analog and mixed-signal components, connectivity, microcontrollers, power and energy management and sensors, etc. By combining these products with Arrow's end-to-end IoT solutions, we can help technology companies and start-ups create more IoT smart devices to create a greener, safer, more convenient and enjoyable lifestyle. ."
The latest IoT products on display at the show are the DragonBoardTM 410c developed by Arrow, a development board based on the Qualcomm® SnapdragonTM 410 processor. This high-performance, low-cost development board supports rapid software development and prototyping. It is ideal for creating embedded computing and IoT products, including next-generation robots, camcorders, medical devices, vending machines, smart buildings, digital signage, and gaming consoles. Together with IBM's Watson IoT platform, DragonBoardTM 410c developers can quickly build, deploy, and manage applications in cloud computing without having to deal with any complex underlying foundations.
