Organizers

XNode | Startup Accelerator & Coworking Space:We incubate ideas and accelerate startups & entrepreneurs, connecting them to an international and local network of mentors, experts, partners, VCs, corporations and institutions. We provide workspace in strategic locations across Shanghai, where foreign and local teams work together, collaborating and sharing ideas as one community. We've taken what we've learned and developed for startups to help corporates adapt before being disrupted, in a rapidly changing world. We bridge corporates to startups, transform their ideas into realities, and raise their intrapreneurial mindset. Lastly, we've embedded Academia and the Chinese government into this platform, creating and consolidating what we'd like to see in the very near future: a real ecosystem of innovation.

Ultimately Launchpad has been designed to help startups secure placements in global accelerators. To make this happen we’ve teamed up with GAN (Global Accelerator Network) and over 150 other accelerators around the world. The Launchpad pre-acceleration program helps prepare startups for international expansion and then we connect startups to international accelerators. We’re providing several services to help improve startups’ chances of acceptance into international acceleration programs.
