BEIJING, Nov. 11, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- On November 9, 2015, information technology company APUS Group announced their latest investment in Beijing-based Smart SV, the innovation incubator founded by Beijing Smart Silicon Valley Technology. Its goal is to develop the base for a super entrepreneurial community.
Under the tide of entrepreneurship in China, there are increasingly more entrepreneurs all over the world choosing the Chinese market for their start-ups. APUS Group therefore choose to set up its "APUS Mobile Internet incubator" with Smart SV to provide overseas entrepreneurs with one-stop services, including registration, office space, accommodation, administration, HR, finance and legal advice, to help them to adapt rapidly. Meanwhile, APUS will offer a full range of services in terms of traffic, capital and pioneering instructions in order to help entrepreneurs motivate innovation, create invaluable products and services, and bring fresh blood to the entrepreneurship tide in China.
At the same time, APUS' Mobile Internet incubator will pay great attention to Chinese entrepreneurs. Based on its own experience of developing, APUS will offer complete instructions in terms of finance, overseas market guidance, user resources, market promotion and brand construction, which will help start-ups to integrate with markets and society, and hence create social value.
In addition, APUS Group will set up a VC platform both in China and around the world. APUS Group will cooperate with enterprise incubators in the U.S., Korea, Japan, and Southeast Asia holding Demo Days on a regular basis. Thus, promising projects will be introduced to China and recommended to overseas markets.
For example, APUS will cooperate with Chain (China America Innovation Network) which was founded in Silicon Valley, in the U.S. in July 2011 and has become the most active and influential entrepreneurship service community. Chain has made great contributions to strengthen the communication and channeling of personnel and resources between China and the U.S. Now it has 9,000 registeredmembers and has been holding regular entrepreneur-related activities, exhibitions and summits which have helped Chinese and American companies expand their influences and understand overseas markets.
APUS' Mobile Internet incubator will therefore set up an Innovation & Internet Link and an Innovation & Commercialization Link to build an efficient and effective enterprise ecosystem to expose entrepreneurs to the global resources of techniques and markets. According to the current plan, Smart SV will hold enterprise activities so that Chinese start-ups will have access to VC funds, grasp this historic opportunity, accumulate strength and develop rapidly.
