China's Silicon Valley

The Chen brothers, passionate about table tennis, built their first ping pong robot in Toronto. They moved to Shenzhen, a hub for hardware and innovation, to develop their product with the help of Hax, a startup accelerator. Shenzhen's transformation from a fishing village to a tech metropolis offers easy access to suppliers and engineering talent, enabling rapid prototyping. The brothers plan to launch their robots soon, leveraging Shenzhen's resources to realize their dream.
