Robot Valley”: a hub for intelligent manufacturing

“Looking for a job? Nanshan is absolutely the best choice!”

“Here we have a ‘Robot Valley’ home to famous robotics companies like Dobot Robotics and EngineAI, alongside many research institutions and top universities, which form an integrated industry-academia-research cluster,” said Liu Zheng, a civil servant in Nanshan District.

On opposite sides of the Pacific, two innovation centers pulse with energy: Silicon Valley in the United States to the east and Nanshan’s “Robot Valley” to the west.

How could one not feel inspired in this energetic hotspot of innovation?

Funding your startup dream

Worried about financing? Rest assured – Nanshan has you covered.

“Startups can receive preferential interest rate loans up to 10 million yuan with a maximum term of three years,” shared Liu. “Just last week, a Malaysian team had their loan approved.”

Nanshan’s government services are efficient, transparent, and user-friendly, making “one trip, all done” the norm and turning “a whole day of running around” into “everything done in an afternoon.” That’s “Nanshan Speed” and “Nanshan Service” in action.

Where history meets modern life

Nantou Ancient Town thrives with youthful vitality: 1,700 years of history are far from silent relics — its pulse still echoes through every alleyway, creating an ever‑evolving, immersive cultural stage.

“Nantou Ancient Town is one of Shenzhen’s most representative historical and cultural sites,” said Cai Yao, a civil servant in Nanshan District. “Today, it has become a multicultural, inclusive, creative district.”

In the mornings, residents practice calligraphy and tai chi. By day, visitors wander among unique boutiques and local eateries and take part in intangible cultural heritage activities such as persimmon dyeing, weaving, and paper-cutting.

A home away from home

In Nanshan, there’s also a place brimming with international flair — Sea World. 

With a diverse selection of global restaurants and visitors from around the world, it’s both a place to enjoy a taste of home and a vibrant social hub where lasting international friendships are formed.

Nanshan also provides well-designed talent apartments — cozy, comfortable, and fully equipped — offering residents real peace of mind about their living arrangements.

From daily conveniences to overall quality of life, one can’t help but exclaim: “This is the Shenzhen life I’ve always dreamed of.”

Nanshan welcomes talent from around the world, offering comprehensive support for both work and life. International professionals can enjoy a high quality of life, find rewarding jobs, and achieve a healthy work–life balance. 

It’s no wonder more and more people are choosing Shenzhen — and choosing Nanshan.
